It's been less than 3,000 miles since the last change, but it's been longer than 3 months. The engine has 135k miles on it, so it may be fairly sludgy in there. It's been reccomended that I run a half quart of ATF in place of a half quart of oil for my next oil change to clean the system. Hopefully that'll clear up any sludge and sticky lifters.
