1999 Dodge Intrepid review from North America

I applied the remedy to the Intrepid oil sludging problem suggested by the professional mechanic. with a few twists. My oil light began coming on at idle, once the engine was warm, and it was a month before I had a chance to replace the engine block oil pressure sensor. (I had replaced the sensor at 64K miles and had no further problems.) This time, the sensor was not bad, and continued to have the light come on. So, I used a quart of engine flush for the recommended 5 minutes, drained the oil completely, changed the filter, added Amoco's clean 7500 syn-blend oil and 1 pint of Risolene. I also went from 5W30 oil to 10W30. It Worked! The oil sensor has not lit once since I applied this remedy. As for driving habits, I've always run the car hard and perhaps that is why I got many more miles that most before my problem developed. I'll keep the car, hopefully another 16 months, perhaps more. I'll continue to use the engine flush and probably change the oil more frequently, despite the 7500 claim of Amoco. I previously changed the conventional oil and filter very 7500 miles not 3000, so I guess I was lucky. Oh, and I was not getting any bad engines noises before I applied this remedy. It sounded smooth and quite before, and still.

This has been, overall, my most favorite vehicle with only minor problems, knock on wood. It still looks sharp at its age and mileage and has been inexpensive to maintain.
