Re: ok need some help
I am not the subject expert on this, but I do know that a lot of people use this kit. Ive never done it myself. Generally I stay away from additives for the exception of the Lucas Oil treatment. Here is the kit

Re: ok need some help
What is the sludge? Oil, dirt, stop leak? Figuring out what it is will help determine how it got in there and what else might need to be fixed...
