Default RE: facts on the sludge monster

There are two separate issues, often confused with one another. The first is traditional sludge, exacerbated by short trips, and eliminated by frequent oil changes. The second is coke, caused by high engine temperatures (turbocharged engines, certain Chrysler V6s), for which the solution is frequent oil changes with SYNTHETIC oil.
