I once stripped the sump a Renault Midliner engine , the driver had finally got round to saying he was always having to top up the water , but it never boiled , when I dropped the sump the entire engine was full of what looked like angel delight , ,[ Or hair mouse if your not old enough to remember angel delight] it seemed so thick and gloopy that the thing was going to need all sorts , but it had no knocks on the in , so after scooping out all the goo , and washing everything in a few gallons of brake cleaner and a close inspection it seemed ok ,, new oil filter and fresh oil ,, and off it went again . Oil and filter change the next day too, and it never looked back.
So Im guessing this lorry had run about for a couple of thousand miles like that.
