Engine Sludge Build up / What causes SLUDGE? / Why you should CHANGE your OIL Regularly

Engine sludge build up; I cover what causes sludge and how it forms, and why you should change your oil regularly and how to prevent engine sludge build up. There are several other things that cause sludge, however, irregular oil changes is a leading cause. Some less obvious causes include: a clogged PCV valve, worn head gasket, consistent low oil level in an engine etc. It's always good to take steps to prevent engine sludge and remove the gunk from engine if it does occur. Hope you find this "what you should know about engine oil sludge" video, useful.
