Good reason to document the mess; a nice CYA for potential issues down the road (literally)
Sludged Mileguard MO3506 After Engine Flush *pics*

When I did oil changes in high school, I had this one car. took out drain plug. Nothing. Stick in screwdriver, some started coming out. It had the 5 quarts, sort of. A lot slowly came out.
Nasty. Turned out they only changed them when they got 30K or so and were ready to get another new one.
Second worst was old Valiant belonging to rural delivery, it only had road draft tube. It needed valve adjust, they had solid lifters. Took off the cover and there was a thick layer of sludge. It was 3/4 full, of chocolate cream. Was the most awful valve adjust ever. That car ran well over 100K like that. Well over. He said it was the best mail car he ever had.

Id love to see pics of the engine this came off of.
This white ocod is more clogged than my dirty posted ocod.

Holy smokes........just wow.
Lets start a discussion? Whats better to do this kind of cleaning? Rinslone, Avblend (Zmax), STP engine oil flush, Diesel or Kerosene fuels at 50%-50%???
Please forget the others for now...

The members here that use the same oil filter for multiple oil changes would have used that filter again.
I would have to say it was just a tad over due for an OCI.

If the engine is sludged, then any filter will look like that after 100 miles. In a clean engine there is really nothing to filter.

There are the wear products to filter out.

I take two lessons from this.
Engines can take a lot of abuse.
and
I would want to de-sludge and engine slowly. Knocking loose a lot of debris at once can't be good.

He should have used a FRAM Ultra

I would say remove the oil pan and valve cover, clean them thoroughly and reinstall, then fill with 25% kerosene/75% engine oil and new filter, start and allow to idle for ~20 min, then drain and install fresh oil/filter and drive normally. I wouldn't use any oil additives, but would use 500 miles for the next couple of OCIs.

Sheesh that's not so bad. Could have run at least another 2k miles..
.. Or not.
HOLY [censored].
It's a good thing that the bypass valve in that actually worked, or I'm sure that thing would have been crushed down to a spindle or worse.
How is that engine even still functioning??
If that had come off my engine, I'd be taking the engine apart for some serious mechanical clean-up. WOW!
Be honest, you just took that thing out to the swamp and packed it full of swamp mud, right? I can't imagine a filter looking any worse, even if I was deliberately trying.

I'd love to see a UOA of the slime that oozed out of that engine..............
Ok, lets try some Mmo, too.
Let's try some Rotella T5 10w30 or some QSGB 10w30 and no additives
