Valve cover off... grossness.

Eww...

I'm guessing that you use either Quaker State or Penzoil?

WTH?!

Previous owner ran Pennzoil. I run QS. This was at 107k thank you very much.

Apparantly afew years ago, the oil produced by Pennzoil and QS was known to sludge up engines pretty badly. They say their formula has changed since then, but I'm not going to risk it...

Castrol all the way

This shows that its the frequency of the changes that is just as important. I know folks who swear up and down they change the oil when its supposed to be done, but do they realize that driving the car alot on short trips, stop and go, in the city is considered to be "extreme conditions" warranting a change every 2500 miles? Read the manual.
