MY thought process was when oil burns it leaves behind contaminate, like carbon and shit and if you keep burning the quart and adding new oil but never changing after a while thats how you get that disgusting sludgy shit that blocks off all of the passages and ruins the motor. I know the 1uz-fes are notorius for sludging up and killing themselves. ---

but the oil isn’t pouring out its being broken down and burned. Its more like boil the water in the glass and pour more in. You’re going to end up with a lot of minerals burned into the glass and colored water still ---
