This is what the inside of your engine looks like when you change your oil at the manufacturers recommended intervals (usually 7-8k) or go by the "oil life monitor" , DON'T GO PAST 5K MILES!!! This vehicle had documented oil changes done at the dealer since it was new, 150k miles, and it is completely sludged inside, and needs an oil pump, and pick up tube because of low/no oil pressure, a $2000 repair, that could have been avoided with shorter oil change intervals.
