2006 9-5 Sludge?

Hi - I just bought a used 06 9-5 with 40K mls. It's in mint condition and I think I got a great deal on it. I've had two Saabs previous with little problems (loved both). My concern is over potential oil sludge. The 06 I just bought had one owner, but did not have good service records. I know it was a corporate car. I had it looked over before I bought and everything look great per the mechanic, but I know he did not drop the oil pan etc. I of course did not read about sludge problems until after I bought. Questions: is 06 4 cy 2.3T prone to sludge like all the 4's? I have no indication that I have sludge, but I'm now paranoid. Should I have the engine flushed? If so what's the approx cost? Does it work? It is still covered under the bumper to bumper warranty but with bad svc records I could have issues. Any advice would be great. Thanks all.
