Lesson #3: Absence of sludge deposits may indicate the crankcase has been âflushed,â especially if fresh oil contains an excessive concentration of solids. Some years ago we sold some oil, a filter and a pan gasket for a 366 truck engine to a customer who initially was asked to do a routine oil change.
View from the pass toward South Park (Park County, Colorado) . Wilkerson Pass, elevation 9,504 ft (2,897 m), is a mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains within Pike National Forest of Colorado and marks the eastern boundary of South Park (Park County, Colorado). The pass is traversed by U.S. Highway 24 with a Forest Service visitor center at the summit along with a few short trails.
The pass is widely considered one of the most scenic in Colorado, offering a panoramic view of the southern end of the Sawatch Range from the summit. Monarch Mountain Lodge is located about 5 miles from the summit of the pass. During the summer, an aerial tram from the parking lot at the summit carries visitors to the top of Monarch Ridge above the pass (at approximately 12,000 feet (3,700 m) above sea level), allowing a wider view of the surrounding peaks.
