    that’s what I did when I replaced my HG lol power mode and drove it hard :ROFLMAO:

    I’m sure your engine isn’t gonna be full of sludge @davekro if the car hasn’t been sitting for a year without an oil change and just sitting idle.

    The only time I’ve seen a car sludge up was when they don’t change their oil for 15k miles and it was a 2008 Camry I believe… even then, they still drove it in for an oil change :whistle:

    I change my prius oil every 10k miles and as you can see in the video, the inside of the engine looks clean and no sludge build up. (y)
