The sludge isn't a problem per se. It's the sludge clogging up the oil screen that prevents the oil from cirulating that's the real problem.
The solution is to drop the oil pan and check out the screen on the oil pickup, oil pan and oil pump.
It's a 3 hour job. Much cheaper than replacing an engine and provides peace of mind.
My Saab has 300,000KM on it and the previous owner changed the oil every 4000km using regular 10W30 Castrol oil. When my mechanic dropped the pan, he said everything looked pretty good to him.
