I can’t remember if my last oil change was at 17k or 27k miles, but I’m about to roll over 77k on my 2015 GT.
Through a combination of procrastination and stupidity, I’ve managed to put off an oil change time and time again until hearing rod knock yesterday on the way home.
After examining my car today, it seems like a pulley is actually the source of the knock.
For my wife’s truck I’ve substituted diesel for oil and run the engine for a minute after a few overdue oil changes, but her truck is sitting at 375k miles. I’m apprehensive about doing that to the 5.0.
I’m parking the car and changing my oil this weekend. What should I do to clean out the the remaining old oil and sludge when I do it?
P.S. This is not a troll post, I’m just that stupid.
