tractioncontrol, is the sludging problem really that bad? I may go down to 3k miles if that's the case. I want my engine healthy!

I don't work on Audi's. There is currently a recall one 1 specific Toyota motor that has had sludge problems, to have it rebuilt under warranty customers have to provide proof that they have had the oil changed every 5000 miles or less and I have rebuilt 6 of them now in the last 3 months.

Toyota blocks are lazer cut and don't get honed. I tear down a sludge motor clean it up, rering it and put in all new gaskets, lifters and springs. I have seen 150,000 mile sludge motors with the cross hatching still there, not a drop of oil came out of the motor but still no damage done to the cylinder walls or anything else. If there is scoring a new motor is put in.

that doesnt make any sense...the power increase with a chip is not enough to automatically put excessive load on the motor under normal driving conditions.
