Suggestions on sludge mitigation

I recently became aware of the 'sludge buildup problem' on 9-5s.
My oil changes have been, on the average, about every 7K miles, oil (mobile 1 synthetic) and filter (saab).
I plan on keeping the car for a few more years and would like to avoid having the engine seize.
I understand that the best way to check for the problem is to drop the oil pan and see how things look.
While the pan is off, I think that replacing the screen and pick-up pipe is best to do, along with cleaning out the pan.
Are there any other things that should be done while the pan is off?
What about long term prevention measures??
Any suggestions as to a good independent mechanic in the Pittsburgh PA area to do this?
thank you!
-John
