Hi,
Its more likely that some detergency is present but a sensible plan if
the engine hasn't been well flushed or stripped and cleaned. The guys
that designed these things did know about sludge formation and took it
into account, also there aren't any mil engines that are highly
stressed, the specific outputs are very low.
