I've even had enough sludge problem over this mileage with regular oil/spin on oil filter changes I had to pull the oil pan off at about 515K miles to clean the oil pump screen, because the oil pressure had dropped to near 0. I cleaned the screen, CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER and the oil pressure returned to about 60 PSI on a warm engine at 55 mph. There was also a significant amount of sludge in the oil pan that I removed. I know the affects of sludge first hand. This car has probably averaged 5K mile oil changes though out it's lifetime.
