Oil Too Heavy??

At 98,000 miles, I've put about 33,000 miles (in 3 years) on the 1999 2.3 lpt 5 speed 9-5 I bought from the original owner here in the Washington, DC area. Besides having extensive dealer service records, the owner had hand printed Mobil 1 "Red Cap" in the margin of the owner's manual for the oil specs. I've used this 15-50 Mobil product religiously for my 3,000-4,000 mile oil changes, including a new filter for most times. I did the head retorque and got a look at the surface varnished interior of the camshaft and valve cover area and felt a little concerned over the recent mounting discussions over "sludge" although I saw none. I have not yet done the coat hanger investigation of the oil pan yet, but will do so at the next oil change. My question is whether using this 15-50 weight oil is not as good as a 10-30 Mobil 1?
Thanx for any responses..
Kirk D.
