Here is a pic of a head from a motor running the
fine penzoil with paraffin wax, shank can fill
you in on the details, I have seen many motors
the same way.
Ford had a real prob when people used P oil the
wax would block off the oil gallies and create
rod knocks

Larry, I have seen the same thing.
One motor was so bad that there was hardly any low spots between the rockers!
Almost made a mold of the valve cover! LOL

And you know for sure the engine was taken care of otherwise? frequent changes etc?
I mean that just seems INSANE to come from using a particular oil brand in the recommended way.
Still I also don't, nor plan to use penzoil cause I run valvoline/mobile 1 exlusively; depends on the weight I need and the application (truck, turbo car, road race motorcycle)

I wanted to add an additional short comment.
Larry, You know I respect your opinions and advice.
But ... Don't immediately blame the oil.
I have seen good Used Oil Analysis and Tech Reports with some dino oil's ... including Penzoil ... although Penzoil does not appear to be as shear stable in some reports.
Since Penzoil is America's most popular brand (especially at the Quickie Lube's) and Quaker State a close second, it's not surprising that you're going to see many engines "sludged up", that just happen to be using Penzoil (or Quaker State). It is just a numbers game. Is this because Penzoil is bad? I would say it's because the owners failed to do proper maintenance.
As I am certain you are aware of ... many things can cause sludging ... such as coolant in the oil, blocked coolant passages, etc.
Everyone should perform a Used Oil Analysis (UOA). It will alert you to pending problems within your engine before they become a disaster ... so that you can take corrective or preventive action.
Just my .02

i just love how people expect something to look new after 25 years. It couldnt of been anything else other than the oil right? Hell, all that could cause that to happen is that you could of had a stopped up PCV valve and that coulda done it.
we used castrol gtx in our van and pumping out over 300,000 miles on the original motor... you gotta do a lot more than change your oil guys!

Hey Steven,
What Amsoil would you recommend for my new Ram I am getting delivered today? It has the HO diesel engine and I want to switch to synthetics as soon as I can. Thanks.

Steven,
I don't blame the oil just showing people what can
happen,
I would say this was most likly from pluged return
holes or running to cold it just shows up better
with this type of oil with wax as an aditive.
Another thing that causes this build up is lots
of short trips never alowing the motor to
completly warm up
I ran penzoil all my life untill I found Amsoil

Larry,
Thanks for pointing our that "short trips" kill engines. Many vehicle owners don't understand the older generations concept of "blowing it out" (as taking a long and fast Sunday afternoon drive). I'm sure you remember.
Ram Man,
Hands Down ... Amsoil's HEAVY DUTY DIESEL OIL (HDD)is their most superior oil !! Used by many Tractor Trailer Drivers.
Series 3000 Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil
"Fuel efficient formula for both gasoline and diesel fleets. Delivers up to 82 percent greater wear protection than other popular diesel oils. Series 3000 resists oil breakdown from heat, blow-by chemicals and oxygen up to ten times longer than conventional oils." Product Code: HDD
API Service CF, CF-2, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, SH, SJ
_______________  _______________
Unsurpassed Engine Protection
AMSOIL Series 3000 Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy-Duty Diesel Oil's higher VI provides a better protective film at higher temperatures than conventional SAE 40 oils, while remaining fluid at subzero temperatures. In every engine tested, AMSOIL Series 3000 Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy-Duty Diesel Oil's unique technology significantly reduced ring wear, cylinder bore polishing, cylinder lining wear, oil consumption, piston deposits and ring breakage.

__________________________________________________
Might I also recomment Bypass Filtration?
_____ 
Special Instructions: This Ram owner located his just forward of the engine on the inside-driver's side frame rail. He used the existing lightening holes in the bottom of the frame to gain access with his wrenches to install the mounting nuts onto the bolts. He used the BE-100 & SDF-26 filters. I think it turned out pretty nice, however, I think if he had used the optional 90 degree fittings at the bypass filter mount, it would have even been better.

409,000-Mile Oil Drain Interval Mack Engine Teardown
After 409,000 miles without an oil change, the AMSOIL-protected Mack E7-400 engine in this truck was as wear-free as an engine in comparable service treated to TWENTY TIMES the oil changes.
COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VIRGINIA – “I didn’t see any surprises in there at all. Based on my experience with AMSOIL Motor Oil, it came out the way we expected,” said owner/ operator Haywood Gray (below) of his 1990 Mack E7-400 engine. "It came out in good shape, exactly what you’d expect for a well-maintained engine with 630,000 miles. Yet the engine’s oil had not been changed for 409,000 miles!"

Oil Analysis
Amsoil uses and recommends Oil Analyzers, Inc. You can find their information in your Amsoil catalog. Reminder ... you are not looking for raw #'s ... but also an interpretation of those #'s.
-------------------------------------------------
NOTE: For the above reason ... You should use a lab that is familiar with the additive chemstry of the oil you are using. For instance ... testing Amsoil, I'd use Oil Analyzers, Inc., and for all you Mobil1 users, AV Lube. I think you will get more accurate data on oxidation, nitration, TBN, etc., etc., if you do this.
-------------------------------------------------
What is Oil Analysis?
Oil analysis involves sampling and analyzing oil for various properties and materials to monitor wear and contamination in an engine, transmission or hydraulic system. Sampling and analyzing on a regular basis establishes a baseline of normal wear and can help indicate when abnormal wear or contamination is occurring.
Oil analysis works like this. Oil that has been inside any moving mechanical apparatus for a period of time reflects the exact condition of that assembly. Oil is in contact with engine or mechanical components as wear metallic trace particles enter the oil. These particles are so small they remain in suspension. Many products of the combustion process also will become trapped in the circulating oil. The oil becomes a working history of the machine.
Particles caused by normal wear and operation will mix with the oil. Any externally caused contamination also enters the oil. By identifying and measuring these impurities, you get an indication of the rate of wear and of any excessive contamination. An oil analysis also will suggest methods to reduce accelerated wear and contamination.
The typical oil analysis tests for the presence of a number of different materials to determine sources of wear, find dirt and other contamination, and even check for the use of appropriate lubricants.
Oil analysis can detect: Fuel dilution of lubrication oil, Dirt contamination in the oil, Antifreeze in the oil, Excessive bearing wear, Misapplication of lubricants.
Some wear is normal, but abnormal levels of a particular material can give an early warning of impending problems and possibly prevent a major breakdown.
Early detection can: Reduce repair bills, Reduce catastrophic failures, Increase machinery life, Reduce non-scheduled downtime.
Early detection with oil analysis can allow for corrective action such as repairing an air intake leak before major damage occurs. Probably one of the major advantages of an oil analysis program is being able to anticipate problems and schedule repair work to avoid downtime during a critical time of use.
Another purpose of oil analysis is to provide a means of predicting possible impending failure without dismantling the equipment. A person can "look inside" an engine, transmission or hydraulic system without taking it apart.
------------------------------------------------
Once you order the "sampling kit" follow the directions very close so as to NOT contaminate the sample. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
----------------
I could go on-and-on about the merits and benefits of oil analysis. Entire phamplets have been written on the subject. However, the proper lab will do the dirty work and provide you with a "bottom line" interpretation.
------------------------------------------------

As a follow-up ...
If you want perhaps the "best" oil analysis available, I suggest Blackstone Labs, because their package will give you a lot more information and interpretation of the results, which is very valuable. They will also answer any questions that you may have.
Here is their website:
