Consumer Description

THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON MY 2002 DODGE INTREPID COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS FULLY WARM AND IDLES BELOW 700 RPM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND LEARNED THAT THE 2.7 LITER ENGINE CONTAINS SLUDGE. THIS SLUDGE WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL WITHIN 10000 MILES. THE CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. HE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *JB
