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.

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.
