this vehicle has been garaged for 1 year i'm concerned about sludge build up from lack of driving,the woman that owned rarely drove,as you can see by low miles,23,000 on a 2005,should i flush the engine or is there something i should do?the reason i ask is because i bought my dads van that was only drove short distances and engine clogged up with sludge and it seized,mechanic said cheap oil and not drove enough,any suggestions?
