The longest oil change I know of was when I was a teen and working at a lube shop. A customer brought in a 1982 Pontiac Grand Prix (This was in 1986) with 64,000 miles on it. The oil had never been changed, I could tell because the original oil filter was still painted black with the engine and there was no sign on the drain plug that it had ever been touched. The guy stopped at a parts store and dumped a quart of engine flush in it and DROVE it to our shop (It says on the can not to drive it with flush in it). When it left it was knocking pretty bad and got louder as it went down the road.

Tyler: I would change the oil again in about a 100 miles maximum. I think you'll find the filter will be plugged up solid once again. And it'll probably take a third time to get the filter to even start working again properly. Don't use the flush again, but change the oil and filter at least two more times with the next being in just three days of driving. I almost guarantee the filter will be plugged by the time you get it home this first time. This first time, you live 30 miles away from Wizard? Just take it home and turn right around and go back and do it again. Really Tyler. I went through this once with a company truck that hadn't had an oil change in 20 thousand miles. And I saved the engine. She went for years after. Go about 150 miles after the 2nd oil change and 300 after the third. Mine were spin on canister filters and the first one didn't pour a drop when you flipped it over to drain it. Neither did the 2nd filter Nothing came out of it at all, it was completely plugged and the changed oil looked like ink. I really started to worry. The third one did drain out and I ran the 4th one 3,000 miles as normal. And the motor was fine ever since. Don't skimp out if you want to save this engine, as it might already be too late. It should be too late. And don't just change the filter. My oil wasn't clean until the 3rd change and about 300 miles. I was really worried there for a while. Filters and oil is cheap, engines aren't. And yes, drug runners don't take care of their stuff. Our Sheriffs got their go fast boat from one that blew up out running a helicopter chasing it. And they had outrun it before. The Sheriffs patrol Lake Erie between the U.S. and Canada. They got the boat at auction cheap and the reason the one engine blew was it ran out of oil. After tear down of the engine it was determined that the oil had never been changed in either engine once. In a pair of blown 507 custom made big block go fast boat engines. That's a fuelly dragster engine. "Change the oil? What's that?" Can you believe that? It was running at 110 mph when it blew. (imagine that ride) And the boat was full of cocaine. Yeah, drug runners. Lost a whole load and got arrested because they were too cheap to change the oil. I thought it was hysterical at the time. So did the Sheriffs. They got a 200,000 dollar Scarab for 3,500 bucks and a new engine. In 1984 dollars. Do you think that was a rigged auction or what? And they still have that boat today and keep it like brand new. With that thing on the water, drug running by boat has pretty much stopped. I believe it will hit 125 mph top speed. Wow, that's really moving on the water. It's basically used for rescue these days. No matter where you are on that huge lake, if you're sinking? That thing will be with you in minutes.

Edit: Psa (or what is now psa) had a hemi engine back in the day. But there is no way it's related. The new hemi isn't technically even a hemi. It's pentaspherical, like every modern engine. Edit 2: And there is zero indication that MB had anything to do with the development of the pentastar, other than it was developed at the time that the two companies were merged. But so was the m157, and no one is claiming Chrysler had anything to do with that. Well, actually, I've found a lot of forum posts saying that it is partially a MB design, but none of them had any sauce. It sounds like salesmen BS to me. _"Yeah, this here new Dart has the v6 in it, and now that MB is running the show, you can think of this new Dart as a Mercedes engine. It's fancy."_ This thread is useless without sources. Again, it's not that I don't believe you, but no one else is making the claims you are, and there is no documentation to back it up.

[@Ghotiermann]

I bought a Corvette from a dealership that bought it from a drug auction. To the drug dealers who had owned it before, it was a disposable delivery vehicle. They made it much faster than a normal Corvette of that year (1980 - I bought it in '97). They made the changes on the cheap, though, because they expected to lose it like they did. By the way, you might want to pull all of the speakers and check them. That is another place where they tend to store their product. The marshals who had seized my Vette pulled the rear speakers completely. They also pulled the carpets to get rid of seeds or residue, but I doubt if you will want to do that. And for everyone who is saying that you would want a car that blends in - Not only did they modify it to make it faster (they bored out the engine from 350 to 383 and took off all of the smog control that robs "malaise era" cars of so much horsepower, and they replaced the automatic transmission with a Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed) - they also repainted it from white to bright red. I guess they didn't get the memo about not standing out. (And of course they did get caught, eventually).

[@peterrexilius254]

You should change the oil again after a 1000 miles, and do another engine flush, that should get it all clean...

[@crimsonstang]

I'd still recommend doing another flush after like 100 miles and then an oil change in like 1000.

[@lynandhenrymeyerding3392]

Ferrari & Chrysler : a marriage of inconvenience. One of the three big rental car companies did a test with a group of several thousand cars in the 1980s. They took new cars and never changed the oil or filter. They topped up the oil, as necessary. They did recommended manufacturer's maintenance otherwise. Then they compared the repair frequency against cars that got the oil changed per manufacturer's recommended interval, etc. What they found was that there was no real difference in the two groups, in the first 100K miles. After that in the second 100K there was a whole bunch of difference.

It takes the oil time to dissolve/dislodge things. This helps prevent the oil passages from getting blocked instantly. As long as none of the oil ports/screens are not plugged in, it should be fine for the amount of driving Tyler apparently does.

Both oil brand names are perfectly fine for your Maserati. I personally would've gone with Liqui-Moly myself in this instance only because you did a major engine flush and Liqui-Moly does have a lot of good detergents that can help break down any residual build up that has accumulated inside the engine overtime. But Castrol has been around for years and they definitely make very good quality oil as well

[@DevJB]

I use Moldex and the premixed 1 gallon "In-Cide disinfectant" from Menards. I spray them directly to the fabric\metal\harnesses and let it soak few mins. Shampoo the seats after some presoak. Repaint the metal on seats. I gut the headliner, carpet and padding, entire metal of the car gets sprayed, sets for 10 min then gets wiped out, 2 treatments at minimal. Ducts get sprayed with a long modified hose that sprays backwards and then snaked with duct cleaner wire tool, also air and vac is used to suck chemical\crud from drilled hole in lower heat box. I can do that headliner for 250 bucks. Located in MN.

[@bertdijkhuizen5261]

I'm thinking you should have put a new filter in prior to the flush. Also it would probably be a good idea to do this flush twice. JRGarage just had a video about a month ago doing a very advanced sludge removal procedure using the same company but he used different stuff and did multiple flushes.

I would have filled it with cheap 10W40 or something and run another flush cycle... At *least* one more flush cycle. I tried to recover a 6.0L GM 3500 box truck that probably hadn't had an oil change in 200,000 km, out there doing nightly cargo runs. 😧 It took dozens of flushes, oil filters every 500-1000 km or so and an oil pump change before it started being "less sludgy" when drained, but the inside of that engine probably still looked like goo...

[@tony_25or6to4]

Yes. JR will flush at least twice. New filter every time too.

it could just be no one ever reset the oil light after they changed it. Also, I would drive it for 100-200 miles and then do a flush and new oil/filter again, just to be safe. That $100-$200 is cheaper than major engine repair.

[@Foxlawl]

Agreed on both points.
