Hi,
I have a hot running engine which is known for its cronic sludge issues. Its a 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L with the VCM and it currently has a sludge problem.
I'm getting it cleaned out. Once the engine is cleaned, my main question is: Which synthetic would resist high heat / forming sludge / deposits.
I like Penzoil Ultra Platinum, but since its made 100% from Natural Gas (without any Type IV PAO's or Esthers), would it be effective in a high heat application to prevent new sludge buildup?
Is Mobil 1 a better choice, since the longer drain interval Mobil 1 formulations would have more PAO's and Esthers?
Please give me some expert advice.
Regards,
Bill
