But yes, practically all cars have their little gremlins. The ones that don't usually get destroyed because their drivers fall asleep at the wheel

right but the sludge is caused by an inherent design flaw in the engine, just like the IMS.....I change the oil every 3500 with rotella on our Saab.

toyota's also have a sludge problem...

agreed most cars have gremlins that most normal consumers are just not aware of, I would venture to guess 70% of M96 owners don't even know what an IMS is.
