I agree with the Quaker State Sludge machine. I Have seen many engines especially with an aluminum head on a Cast iron block sludged up by Quaker State. Motorcraft oil used to be about as bad. I saw a Toyota pickup with the side of the block blown out from sludge...Quaker State Strikes again. My Favorite is Kendall. It seems to clean up an engine rather than clog it up. I started using Kendall in my 240 when I got it and could now tear down the engine without needing to scrape the sludge out of it.

Most of the oils out there will give very good results if you keep them changed and don't wait till they fail.
