My eldest brother has no idea about cars and done 1 oil change in 5 years. It came out lumpy as hell when I changed it. At the end of the 5 years the engine ceased

if you come across an engine like that, clean it as best as you can and run it on a good fully synthetic oil (its got some kinda cleaning detergent in it) and after a few K miles and maybe another oil change it should clean the engine up pretty well!
