Agree completely (including choice of new oil) except my opinion: The sludge is a thick goo of petroleum, dirt, and engine combustion by-products deposited within the engine over years and nicely baked in. I believe that the crud around the piston rings will come loose and you MIGHT start burning oil if your rings are worn out and masked by the crud....may not. May run better if you had a stuck ring and the detergent oil freed it up so that it could function properly. As far as the majority of the rest of it, I think that if the detergent attacks it, it will be a thin layer at a time and doubt that any passages will become clogged. You could have a very rapid contamination (dirty)of your oil Dave mentioned, but I personally would try it before I tore into somehting....ain't broke, don't fix it....have gotten myself into more unnecessary jams by not following that simple rule. You will have watch the oil filter. If a lot of crud comes off fast it could plug the filter and you would have to change it frequently but the oil would have to be black before this became a problem....as I see it. Good luck Mark
