Drain the oil out and get some cheap 40 weight motor oil and put 2 - 3 qts diesel fuel in it. Run it under no load for about 2 hrs so the motor is at operation temperture and drain it out hot. That should flush the sludge out and then fill it back with good oil. Running a couple qts diesel in the crank case won't hurt it. If you look in your owners manual for winter operation it tells you to deluite your motor oil with kerosene. I have had diesel injector pump seals go out and had pumped as much as 1 1/2 gal of diesel in crankcases under load and never hurt them. Some mechanics will tell you also to leave out one qt oil and add one qt automatic transmission fluid and leave it in untill next oil change to clean it out. One other thing is to make sure you change the oil filter after flushing out the engine.
