What happens when sludge builds up inside an engine?

Engine oil cleanliness is vital to the life of an engine! When sludge builds up inside an engine, it restricts the flow of vital oil through the oil filter and oil galleries and subsequently to all lubricated engine components. Ultimately, this restricted and contaminated oil supply can lead to complete engine failure. Use remarkably effective…
