The answer is 156 500Km on the clocks.

Moral of the story when buying a car open the valve cover and have a look inside as well as do a compression test.
Although compression on this car is surprisingly good.

As Sean has already said the engine is coated with varnish as opposed to sludge.
A good indicator of poor oil quality as well as irregular oil changes.
I shall post a pic of the oil filter later so that you may see what happens to aftermarket filters bought at cheap prices.

I think we had 1 guess at 150k early on in the thread so 1 rep point on its way

I win! :rollsmile:

Is there anyway to 'remove' this kind of varnishing over time?

With regular oil services at shorter intervals?

My guess of 25000 is not added

Lol oh it is sorry . My internet was slow :smashScreen:

Once varnish sets in it becomes stubborn and requires chemical treatment to remove.

I find this hard to believe....mobil 1 is good but it is not that good. Even if you manage to run a motor with only solvent based cleaner in the crankcase it would not clean heavy varnishing as is the case here.

I am not saying that it was dipped into the fountain of youth however it may have strayed there at some stage of its life.
