Engine sludge

[Barry]

I recently had a car in with a few oil leaks in the engine so I started stripping down a few things to see what I could fix and this is what I came across inside the engine. 

This is the result of using cheap nasty oil. My advice as always, good oil only costs 20 Dhs more. Use it. If you think what you see on the outer parts of the engine looks bad, just imagine how the insides must look. The oil won't be flowing properly and all sorts of damage will be occurring.

eeewww, this poor engine must have run for 20-30k km with single oil change before reaching to this stage......! Owner's driver license need to be destroyed and make him off the road for at least 6 months.

Believe it or not, this car actually had an oil change every 10k and there was 70k total miles on the car. The oil the previous garage was using was just shitty. This particular company has over 300 cars and I've just started taking care of them all a couple of months ago. I've come across 5-6 like this and I'm expecting more. I could quite happily estimate that 20% of my time is spent fixing other people's mistakes.

OMG! I have ever in my life seen engine so bad, with only 70K Kms on the clock this is unacceptable. Can't blame the driver completely if he is asked to maintain the vehicle at a certain garage. In UAE there is a rule against everything, why don't they have rules as to what oil a garage can keep or not and regular inspections to make sure the regulations are being followed.
