Verify oil change record. I would still pull the valve cover off to get some idea of potential sludge. I own 03 from new, had PCV 6 update at around 40K miles, using Mobil 1 0w-40 or 10w-40 full synthetic all along, still saw a bit of sludge built up inside the engine at 99K when recently tore down the motor for rebuid (but nowhere near clogging up the oil pick-up screen), likely due to following OEM oil change interval (i.e. 10,000 miles.... too long for even synthetic IMHO.)
Also check oil leakage around oil filler cap, and if some, open the cap and check for air coming out. If you hear air popping out like a steam engine, you got excessibe blow-by and need new piston rings and likely pistons & cyclinder re-bore too (reads walk away unless you want to buy it cheap and rebuild it.)
