plays dirty when losing
I checked the oil on the dipstick first. It was good. (I also checked it later to see if oil was being thrown around the crankcase and it was) I assumed it was the oil sending unit. I pulled the oil line to the Unit with the truck running. No oil. So I unhooked the oil line from the oil port down low on the block by the bellhousing to see if the line was plugged. No it's not. Pulled the oil filter to see if it was plugged. No it's not. Pulled the oil drain plug to drain the oil. I figured it was time to change it anyway. very slow drip.
The oil from the filter was black and thick, but it has less that 3000 miles on it. I'm assuming my oil has completely sludged up, but how can I tell if it's sludged? If it is how do I clean it out without pulling the motor?
How can oil thicken that badly in less than 3000 miles--hell the motor has less than 3000 miles!!
