ok so after replacing all 4 coil packs, spark plugs. replacing all the vacuum lines then determine i had engine sludge, warranty covered my sludge kit, replaced a bunch of sensors. now after 2 and a half months of having no car i have my car back.

you guys think i should be running smoothly for a long time now without any issues? i have 57000 right now and am wondering if i should just get rid of this car or just keep it cuz its like a renewed car. what do you guys think

car should be fine now as long as you do regular sythetic oil changes every 5000miles.

but keep in mind you will be replacing other small stuff as well over time and doing fluid changes etc; and timing belt needs to be changed soon if you haven't done so already.

thanks for your opinion, also the dealer after he changed my oil put a sticker on my window that said next oil change 10,000 miles from now. i should still get it at 5k instead?

always always always change oil and oil filter at 5k miles. the 10k manufacture suggestion is incorrect.

10k is what the manufacturer suggests. That's a fact. I've been doing 10k mile intervals for over 120k miles. Only recently going to 5k since I have mods and want to be safe.

Going to 5k miles per interval is insurance against more sludge issues.
