Just drained the oil from the first rinse about a week ago. Ran castrol 5w-30 GTX clean 1520 mi, & castrol 5w-30 GTX 1900 mi on the rinse. Got flat, black hard deposits about 1/3 the size of a pencil eraser in the bottom of the drain pan which I had cleaned just prior to draining the oil. Also had what appeared to be sand which suprised me as the car had 134,000 mi & has ran paper air filters since new & had the oil changed 1900 mi ago. There did appear to be some liquified sludge both in the filter pleats and in the bottom of the drain pan. Filter pleats had small hard black (Carbon)? particles about the size of black pepper along with the sludgy looking stuff but no sand. Where did the sand come from? During the 1st clean there was a bit of the rough idling but it was on & off and not all the time. This became less noticible during the rinse. About 1600 mi into the rinse the mileage improved from 30-33 up to 36 which I got on a highway trip but has been at least 34+ since doing my usual driving. I have been running a heavy dose of fp-60 every tank since when I got the car at 131,000 mi it had the original fuel filter
I am now 180 mi into the 2d clean phase which I plan on going the full 1500 mi & then the rinse both with the GTX then go to synthetic for the winter. Oil consumption is down from a qt/500mi to 1.25qts during the 1900mi rinse, hopefully will drop even more.
