I would let the detergants in the oil clean the sludge out. I have had
quite a few W123s and I've use Mobil1 in all of the ones that
burned/leaked less that 1qt per 500 miles. The results of Mobil 1? The
cars leak less and the sludge under the rocker-arm cover diminishes.
I would put clean oil in and drive it hard!
