It's just a crock pot instead of a convection oven.
I have seen and smelled a couple of dozen cars in which the oil that came out of the IMS was as thick as molasses and stunk like nothing I'd smelled before.
We had to dissolve it with carb cleaner.
If you NEVER change the oil in your car it will gunk up and do the same.
The oil that seeps into the IMS is not replenished and that's why it's cooked.
Happy Boxstering,
