I went for an oil change at my Ford dealer 2 months ago and they suggested an oil sluge cleaner. Supposably it cleans the pan of all the sludge and sluge or crud in the engine. Did you guys ever hear of such a treatment? They hook it up to some sort of machine. Is it worth it?

It's a scam to get more of your money....

I've heard of it but honestly you could drop the oil pan and do it yourself if you wanted. If you use a good synthetic you shouldn't need it done.

i dont use synthetic. I just bought the car used with 67,000 miles in October 03. I just started using the motorcraft 5w30. Don't know what was put in before then. Do you think it would be a good investment to go ahead and do this since i don't know the cars oil history?

You probably need it if you take off the oil cap and there's gunk stuck to it. If it's not on your cap, it's not in your motor. If the dealer wants more than $20 go to a Jiffy Lube and get it done for $15.

Also,while your oil pan is out clean out all the crud stuck to its inside walls.
