If there are so many "solids" then I'd imagine the stuff wouldn't be able to pass through the oil pickup screen and the oil light would come on. But if it's flowing, it's flowing.

When I see oil that looks like cottage cheese, I'll worry. Until then, I have empirically determined that around here, in spite of brutal -40F cold starts, the engines are the last thing to fail, preceeded by rusted out body structures.
