Jason; When an engine does not come up to temp for a little while, and just gets on and off running, deposits, moisture, etc. do not get evaporated out of the engine, and the result is sludge in the oil, on the heads and throughout the engine. That is why a car that is used just for short trips can be a problem. It is best to be winterized and stored in the winter, if not used and driven a bit, and brought up to temp for a while. Hope this helps. Earl
