One quick way to get rid of heavy sludge in your engine, run the engine up to operating temperature, drain the old oil from the engine, change the oil filter. Now refill the engine with a mixture of new engine oil and parafin (kerosene), recommend 25% oil & 75% parafin. Fit new oil filter, Start the engine ===DO NOT REV THE ENGINE=== let it run for about 5 minutes, check that the oil pressure light is NOT lit, if gauge fitted check that some oil pressure is regestering, it does not need to be high and should not do any harm. If sludging is very heavy you may need to repeat the process. You should also check what has made the oil sludge in the first place, you may in fact have a cylinder Head gasket problem. I hope this helps you. Regards Iain |

Am not too sure but I hear there is a product called engine flush, which helps to flush the engine of sludge.You drain the oil, leaving the oil filter.Pour in the flush and start the car.Allow to idle for about 15 to 20 mins,then drain the flush.Put a new filter and pour in a synthetic oil.You will have to change the oil after few weeks. |

now here is wot to do. buy a can of engine flush,do not remove the old oil yet ,pour the engine flush it into the engine oil compactment of the car and run the engine for 3 to 5 mins,so that the oil will mix with the engine flush. After which u switch off your engine and ask ur mechanic to drian off the oil from beneath the car.u must also remove the engine oil filter after draining the oil.After draining the oil, u can now add the new one into its compactment,2 gether with a new oil filter and your good to go.  I hope this helps. |

There are links in this thread on how people are dealing with sludge. You may have to remove oil pan and valve cover first to know what you are dealing with. Its going to be ugly, but that is what you get if a car is not properly maintained. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-390445.0.html |
