problem #2

Oct 142009

Intrepid SE 2.7L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 106,000 miles

Information I have shows that early timing chain replacement was caused by oil sludge, something I noticed around the oil filler cap soon after I purchased the used vehicle. Since the timing chain replacement, the car appears to still have sludge problems such as oil-starved knocking at idle and frequent instances of oil light coming on at idle. My mechanic did not know why, but a temporary fix was to put oil stabilizer (Lucas) that immediately quiets engine knocking and COMPENSATES for the reduced oil pressure.
