Haven't found it yet. Still looking.

Just change the oil with some heavy detergent oil and start changing the oil every 1k miles for a while. No point building an engine till it's really toast. If you're lucky, the critical areas will clean up and the motor will still last a long time.

Do it with some cheap penzoil for a couple of changes then go to good stuff when you see it stays clean longer.

look for:
"Helps prevent sludge and other damaging deposits
Helps clean up existing sludge in your engine
Provides proven wear protection"
in the description.

My fun was on a 1.6 liter Nissan engine I was doing a front cover reseal due to a big oil leak. 13hr job. They had 2 O-rings between the front cover and engine block. The oil pump was connected to the front cover. 2-piece oil pan, etc. I opened up the engine and that is exactly what it looked like the video I posted above.
