hi every one.
It appears that the inside of my engine is very dirty.
The back story.
When purchasing my fzj80 I was told by the PO that he used mobile 1 oil. I changed the oil shortly after purchasing 0-40 M1, M1 filter. And it was filthy. Burgundy in color. And lots of deposit chunks.
I cut open the filter and the bottom was pretty gritty.
Now 1200 miles in I added some oil and I'm back to burgundy and saw a deposit chunk on the dipstick.
I am hesitant to use a engine flush as I have 233k on the clock. And don't need to make more problems.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
