I think that switching to synthetic oil (and perhaps a couple extra oil
filter changes) will gradually clean up the mess.

Keep an eye out for oil leaks developing at any seals that might have
been covered with the gunk and dried out in the meantime.

Hopefully it will all dissolve slowly, rather than chunking off and
potentially clogging oil ways or the pickup screen...
