That said: On old cars about once a year or other year, when we changed the oil, we would clean the block out. To do this we replaced the engine oil with diesel. Run the motor for about a minute, shut it off, drain, and replace with diesel. We did that three times. Then replace with cheap oil, run for a minute, drain and replace oil filter and fill with the oil you want. Not sure if it really helped, but it made us (teenagers) feel better. With diesel, the flashpoint is fairly high, so be careful about spilling it, and don't let the motor warm up. If it does, let it cool back down. Diesel does have a lot of detergent in it, so I suppose that's why we thought it would clean out sludge. ju-@astrocomma.com wrote:

Wow, that might actually work, but I'm WAYYYY too lazy to do all
that. I think I'll just rebuild my motor sooner :O
