Tech Service Bulletin: V6 Engine Sludge

I recall there was a TSB on engine sludge which may result in failure on V6 Gen 4 camry's and others which shared the same engine. Has anyone had any experience with this and how important is it to actually flush the engine and tranny ..... or simply change fluids per regular service intervals.

Is flushing really required?

just stick with the regualar oil changes and you should avoid this problem, that is of course assuming that you use the right kind of oil.
