Re: CLEANING PAN OF SEDIMENT UPON PURCHASE

I had wondered about filling the oil pan with some kerosene, rocking the car a bit by hand, and allow it to soak for a while then drain it to clean the pan?

Not a good idea, better to do nothing. The sludge is probably now in a fairly compact and inert layer, what you will succeed in doing is, despite the fact that some of it can be drained off, is loosening some of the sludge so it becomes free to circulate thru the engine.
