Sludge is a possibility but there are ways of determining this to beat the odds. Of course the most drastic but also the most sure, is to drop the oil pan. That's pretty extreme and costly. So next option would be to remove the valve cover. Sludge usually shows up here too, in particular around the timing chain and gears.
History is also a good tell-tail.....have regular oil changes been done before or on schedule and always using synthetic oil?
Has the PCV system been updated to #6 and when?
2002 is still the best year for the Viggen so don't be shy!
