I wanted to see what the original oil looked like coming out of the car after the sludge stuff (distillates) was put in. I did it cold and set a timer for five minutes.
It looked very ready to be changed but nothing scary looking came out.
So how many small pockets of old oil with distillate remain in the engine? I don't know. So I've put in new oil with a new filter and I'm going to run that a (very short) while to dilute the old oil and distillate and let the fresh additives do some scrubbing before draining hot.
It may all be for not but if there is a buildup of sludge I probably would have detected that with looking at the original drained oil.
