Today though, I checked my oil and it was FULL, but dirtier than it has ever been. I mean DIRTY. Almost sludge. She makes a pretty awful sound at idle too and even lost power in acceleration. I fear some internals are damaged and causing more issues throughout at this point.
Preparing to send her off to the shop to let her get torn down. Only so much I am willing to do on my own. *shakes head*
