Previous owner did the PV6 upgrade and you're at 80K with no symptoms... I wouldn't spend any $$$ for checking for sludge.
You can do check for the sludge during your oil change with a coat hanger or something flexible but not too soft by going through the oil drain opening. Scrapes the coat hanger or ?? against the inside bottom of your oil pan. This will give you some ideas on how mad it's inside of your oil pan. You can also make sure that you use full synthetic oil at each oil change as well.
I did the exact thing when I bought my 02' Linear with 78K miles on the clock and no PV6 update. A friend of mine that used to work for the Saab dealership told me about the inexpensive trick.
Best of luck.
