I was a Quacker state lubber my engines were clean. I was raised around mechanics and learned early to keep my oil changed, Are was it the oil was free :lol:
I started wrenching 71/72 I got to work on 60's engines but few 50's engines. I don't think I have seen but a few engines sludge when the owners maintained there vehicle religiously no mater what oil they used... I still don't buy into those claims.

Two oil filters center and one to the right both changed religiously same oil 5/30 synthetic blend @3K... The center one is sludged ...WHY... Every filter in the bucket is changed at about 3K except the yellow one I don't remember were it came from, all are clean why is one sludged.

Unless you know the history are lets say you did not its EZ to blame the oil...
