sludge
 

Has anyone had problems with sludge in the engine on the 2001 models.

A few things that would be nice to know:

*There are several 2001 models out there, each with a different engine, and
some with an option of more than one. Can you be more specific?

*Sludging has been reported to be an almost troubling common occurrance on
several Japanese models. But I have never heard about it (much) on a
Hyundai. Have you ever had this trouble on any other vehicle?

*How often are you changing your oil? And what type and weight oil are you
using?

*How extensive is your sludging problem? And how long (miles or whatever)
have you had it?

No, but I run full synthetic 5w30 oil and purchase filters with at least
equal filter area as the stock filter (most crossover catalogs spec a
little pathetic little filter for Hyundais)

Pep Boys has a special machine that cleans out sludge, dirt, etc...from
the internal engine passages. It is called a Bilstein Engine Flush
procedure which is very effective . They use special solvent cleaner
thru high capacity filters . They conclude by adding fresh oil and an
oil filter. I think the total price was $129.
