2001-Chrysler Sebrig Conv. 52000 miles
Checking with carfax for complaints, they show many engines blowing up. Claims made is because of Sludge build-up. Is there a maintence for this ? All complainence says they changed oil every 3000 miles as I do. Answer greatly appreciated. I love my car, but could not afford a new engine. Thank you very much,,Lewis

you didn't say if you were having a problem or just worried. if you have been changing the oil every 3,000 with the proper weight oil and you don't have a problem don't worry.

I guess just worried. When I was checking CarFax on what complants other people were having. It was about engines blowing up, because of Sludge biuld-up. That's why I'm concerned. Thought maybe there was a flushing that could be done. Thanks for past answer. Lewis B.
