Sludged engine help ( I know dead horse), but confused)

Thanks the 0w30 is specified and those GM specs are correct. Mobil 1 ESP meets those specs and I had 250K miles on my strong running 9-5 (with 330 HP tune) until I hit a deer.... Just a little varnish on the engine, did not burn a drop in 5K OCI

While it is a GM engine it is modified my Saab to stand the turbo stress. Why would you not use a higher ester based 3.5 HTHS Euro oil that should have superior cleaning abilities in a Euro car? ESP is one of the very best oils on the market.

Listen to Trav, he knows what he says, short OCI's at first replace filter rinse and repeat, not literally

Hopefully this has come and gone in over two years.

Currently the advise for this project would be Valvoline 5w30 Restore and Protect. Not something we had 5 years ago.
