hey guys.
Finally got to the bottom of my oil problems i'm thinking.
What's the best way to clean all this **** off the Pickup and All the **** out of the Sump?
Cheers Deneo.

Diesel and a paint brush.

change your oil every 5000km and this wont ever be an issue. its going to be a prick to clean.

Only had the car for a few months, If i was the owner since it was released it wouldn't look like this lol.
I got most of it off brushing lightly with a peice pf coathanger will go over it with diesel in the morning.
There looks to be half a tiny gasket in the sump. Don't know if it's spun a bearing in the past and been repaired or what :S
Thanks Deneo.

This happened to my v6 it was getting 10,000k oil changers for 10yrs. with Magnatic **** oil.
Another guy I know had the same trouble with Magnatic oil.
After it was put back together I did a couple of 2500k oil changes and filters.
I cut open the filters to have a look and there was little balls of crap inside not a lot.
Now my oil is pretty clean at change time.
Cost a bit to do but cheaper that a seized motor.
Good luck with it mate.
