help 2.7 motor

Thanks I did buy a 2.7 motor with 16000 miles on it out of a 04 sebring sedan. The only differance is the egr valve. I should be able to swap the rear exhaust manifoldand intake from my motor to the new one. Is there anything I can do to get the most out of this new motor? Everyone has this slugging build up problem. Can something be done to stop this? Is there a certain kind or oil I should use to get a longer life out of this new motor?What would you do?thanksRuss

RE: help 2.7 motor

one word "SEAFOAM" you can buy it at your local auto supply store, read the label. This will keep the sludge fron forming and clean build-up that may already be there. I put 1/2 a can in the crank case and the other 1/2 in the gas tank, this keeps the fuel system and the engine clean.

Use Amsoil Full Synthetic 5W30. You will never have the problem again.
