I had the engine oil lite come on in cold weather and the engine knocked before I could shut it down. The bottom oil pan had sludge in it but the top looked sludge free. Lexus dealership did a dianostic and said it sounded like a main bearing failure.

    your engine is shot and is not worth repairing. shop for
    a low mileage used engine. then use only synthetic oil
    and change it every 6,000 to 7,000 miles.
