[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 999371, member: 69241"] Any synthetic oil will clean sludge deposits, so that's probably causing the discoloration. That's why we recommend flushing the engine before changing over from dino oil to synthetic. Change the filter at 2K and top up. Check your valve covers for seepage as Eddie suggests. Given the age of your Trac the gasket(s) may have failed. [/QUOTE]
