I'm not a mechanic so don't go on my word.
My former boss bought a 1976 chevy truck that had been setting in a barn for 14 years. Thing looked great. We put fresh plugs in it and a new battery and it would turn and turn but wouldn't fire off. We took the cover off and could see that the valves were gummed up pretty good. We tried multiple different kinds of oil with no luck, but when we doused them with marvels mystery oil. It fired off like it had never missed a beat. He poured 2 quarts in the oil and sone in the 14 yr old gas and the thing still hasn't missed a beat. Made a believer out of me.

IIRC, the guy who does Project Farm on Youtube has done a review of MMO.
I know that I recall seeing a video that he did on Seafoam in a Ford Ranger that had some issues and he fellt that the Seafoam cleaned up the valve train that had sticky lifters.
I would only use fluids that promise to fix engine, transmission, or coolant issues as a last resort.

Put a manual oil gauge on it temporarily so you can see exactly what is going on.

I've always changed the oil with synthetic every 3000 miles and I am at 136K miles now.
I can't see you having any sludge with that regime and I certainly wouldn't do something like that Marvel Mystery Oil routine. I'd look for another cause. That is what I was going to say!. There is no way you have sludge in that engine. Syn. oil hardly has any sludge build at all, and at 3K changes, with that low miles, no matter what oil you use , it should never have sludge.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23
