Assuming the oil has been drained, Try unscrewing the dipstick tube to allow access to the oil pan and then pour in 2 quarts of M&P Naphtha with a funnel thru the dipstick hole. Let it sit for a few days then drain and strain the Naphtha and do again. This could disolve any sludge in the pan.
MAKE SURE BATTERY IS DISCONECTED AS THIS STUFF IS FLAMMABLE LIKE GAS.

I have never done this but as long as the engine is not turned over so that the oil pump is not involved I can not see any harm.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND GLOVES

Has anyone done this before????????????? If so, please comment.
