What I like to do from time to time is add a quart of Transmission Fluid about 3 days before an oil change, the transmission fluid has detergents that clean out any sludge from your engine. of coarse if you never change your oil and its thick as tar you may need professional help for your car.

What is the best product to flush engine sludge from an engine?

Does the v6 passt have engine sludge?
While a V6 Passat can sludge (as can any engine), it is not nearly as common as sludge issues on the turbocharged 1.8 liter engines. The reason for the difference is that the heat from the turbo, combined with an inadequate oil capacity (under 4 liters) breaks down the oil and forms sludge. The V6 engine, being a non turbo and having a larger oil capacity is less prone to sludge. However, as is the case with any engine, prolonged oil change intervals and cheap oil/filters will increase the risk of sludgeing over time.
