I use 85-140 gear oil, works great.
I drained old sludge had to poke around in the drain to get the 1" of crud out of the way.
I then put in 5 gallons of diesel, a lot cheaper that kerosene. I drove around for a few minutes and let it sit for about 2 weeks. 2 week time interval was only because I work on my tractors in my spare time. Diesel was filthy when I drained it, I also poked around with a piece of wire and got as much sludge out as I could. I put in a fresh 5 gallons, drove around for another 5 minutes and let that sit over night. 2nd batch came out with very little discoloration. I then replace the bad gaskets.
I'll save the relatively clean diesel for another cleaning. Dirty batch will get used up starting burn pile or camp fires.
This cleaning method will show every weak gasket as they will leak a lot. I'm ok with that as I want to replace them anyway.
