I hope i got it into the dealer in time. The dealer thinks i did. The dealer claims the problem is sludge caused by too infrequent oil changes. I changed the oil within the guidelines listed in the owners manual. Plus,…

This vehicle loses oil pressure, has large sludge build up no matter how many oil changes it gets. The problem started out with a lack of oil knock. Not the so called spark knock, but lifter knock. Oil gets changer in spring and fall. You can change oil every week and the manufacturer will still say it's a lack of maintenance.*ak
