Isnt trying to rid the sludge at 230k+ miles kinda iffy? knocking any of the carbon and crud loose is gonna result in chunks of crap in the oil system possibly blocking an oil passage. Ive herd things I wont mention on which knock it loose and which dissolves it which is preferable from my experiance.
I tore down a neglected 318 run on Penzoil and changed every 10K or so. You literally couldent even see the rocker towers or lifters for the buildup. BTW, why do you think Chevy reccomends P oil? it plugs all the factory built in leaks like valve cover gaskets.
If its not to cold where your at run Delo,Delvac or Rotella in it. Its far more detergent/additive packed and might gradually help clean things out. Ive been running it for a long time in my 4.0 HO and get 20+ mpg highway and good results. Although lately with the 30 degree morns it seems a bit slow on starts, but if my diesel pu can handle it why not..
