If its a wear issue instead of a sticking issue, some new, non-broken-down oil with better viscosity is a good band aid that might buy you time till thicker lube can no longer correct it.

If its sticking, some fresh lube may help to dissolve some of the varnish and buy you some time as well.

Either way, if I was one of you guys with slushbox issues I'd sure as hell try some new lube to see how that works before I'd dig in to swap out an expensive throttle body.

excellent ...

Dougy quote of the day.

"first time it did it to me i knew that the engineer at Asin that could not figure out proper oil level is an imbecile"
Is he any worse than the engineer at volvo that did the stress analysis for the 2.5's thin walled cylinders? lol :p
