Once the engine is full of sludge, chemical oil flushes do not help. I tried two different flushes a total of three times before an oil change, and one cycle of A-Rx, with no results. The only thing that happened was that the balance chain started to shed metal and engine bearings all but failed during this time.
Not saying the flushes are a bad product, but probably not for this kind of problem. The "sludge" is actually pretty solid, almost like a layer of tiny oat flakes, and by the time the oil is no longer circulating properly, a solvent added to the oil won't do much.
I think what happens is that even after you clean out the oil pan, old sludge keeps washing down into the pan and screen from other parts of the engine, and new sludge forms. Feel free to pm for more info.
