I recently bought a 1988 Ford 3910, about 50 hp diesel.....900 proven actual hours. When I pulled the dipstick while kicking the tires prior to the purchase, it was typical diesel black.
First thing I did when I got it home was warm it up good and change the oil and filter. While the plug was out I took a screwdriver and scraped the sludge which had accumulated on the bottom of the oil pan.....seemed to be about ¼" thick.
Next day it was out in the field working hard for a couple of hours. Got it back to the shop and the oil was already dirty. When I finish haying it and the filter will get changed again. Yepper, detergents in the oil cleaning up sludge from sitting with so few hours for so many years, even with detergent oil being used.

I drained the tranny and main sump also after the purchase and in went JD 303.......that's usually listed where AB is listed on fluid container application charts.
