What kind of problems/symptoms are you having that you think are related to sludge in the engine?

A good start would probably be to go and do a few 1000 mile oil changes to flush some stuff out of there. They sell engine flush products but I don't like them - I think they're too hard on seals. I don't have any real evidence for this.

AutoRx seems to be the only 'add to crankcase' product that's trusted 'round these parts, and might be able to help.
