Andy: I have never professed to being much of an engine man, however I'd like you explain something for me. Some years ago I was using detergent oil in my diesels and non dtergent in my gassers. Since employees where getting oil mixed up, I decided it had to be one oil for all. Of 4 gassers I had, one I knew was terribly dirty and the other 3 relatively clean. Running one's finger around the drain hole on oil pan no sludge could be felt. I changed the oil in all these gassers, ran them a half day and as I had been advised changed oil and filters again. I took the plug out of the dirty engine and nothing came out. I poked with my finger in the drain hole, and had to poke through an inch crust of sludge. I removed the pan and yes a solid inch of hard sludge full length of pan. I drained what I believed to be 3 clean engines removed the pans and yes, there was some sludge in all three. I'd like for you to explain to me exactly what loosened up all this sludge. All of a sudden the dirty engine was clean under the valve cover. All I know is what I saw happen. A lot of sludge came out of that dirty engine and some came out of the others. If you would be so kind, give me your opinion what happened.
