With you advice and that of Jack, you're pointing to an idea! I recently moved to Nova Scotia and this car is for getting out and exploring the area at the weekends. Help the car and see the country! Bingo!

Let me add something to the advice already givenbelow: Short trips? Well, I drive to work everymorning. It takes me 30 minutes. That's not a shorttrip. Trouble is, it IS a SLOW trip. I rarely exceed40 mph, and my engine RPM stays low. By aboutWednesday of every week, I'm ready to do some realdriving, so I head out of town. Get my speed up, myRPM up, and let the car run. Once I'm out of traffic Iget my foot in it, and feel the power. Racing from onered light to another (my pet peeve if you're one ofthose people) isn't enough to prevent sludge buildup.And that's true for any car with any engine. -Craig--- Jack Rabon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> Another idea on preventing sludge - longer trips are> better than short > trips, especially in cold climate areas.
