Hello,

It sounds like you may have the oil drain back holes plugged in the cylinder head. I would remove the valve cover to inspect. Here are two guides to help us get started:

Please run down these guides and report back.

Cheers, Ken

Yep, if the oil changes have not been done on time it can cause sludge clogging up the holes.
