In engines with mileage over 62,137 miles, the formation of sludge inside the engine is inevitable: these are gummy residues caused by oil aging that can even block passages. To prevent sludge formation, it is advisable to add specific additives before each oil change.

In any case, as shown in the video, it may be necessary to remove the rocker cover and the timing chain cover for thorough removal. Before disassembly, drain the oil and water, remove the rocker cover, auxiliary belt, water pump, and then the timing chain cover.

After washing and cleaning the engine, it is advisable to perform an oil change after the first 621 miles.
