I have experienced the sludge issue so I will chime in.
1. If you are thinking of keeping the car I would have the pan
pulled ASAP and clean as much sludge as you can.
2. Run the oil flush that Dick and Dean mentioned.
3. Do a series of two or three 1000 mile oil changes using some sort of
additive before the oil change that will help break down sludge
deposits
4. Use a Puralator ( the micro fiber type) filter each time.
5. After two or three 1000 mile changes go to synthetic.
It seems the sludge clogs pick up screen and then starts to rob the engine of lubrication and then next thing you know you are calling scrap yards
looking for a decent 2.3.
My numbers for the oil changes are made up from my own experience. I just watch the oil to see when it is starting to get dark and then change it.
Good Luck
Hutmo
