Wow....
When you mentioned she missed the 90k service interval, are you sure she didn’t miss the 75, 60, 45, 30 & 15 as well?

That’s horrendous!

Not uncommon unfortunately and has been known to occur on vehicles that were serviced as per the manufacturers recommendations.

OR better info for the owner...

Standard service interval is probably fine for a car that is driven constantly and everything is heated through thoroughly but mummies car that does short trips to the shops once or twice a week and the daily school run and never gets up to full temp (engine coolant temp is different to oil operating temp) will sludge up much quicker.
