Not neccesary. Modern synthetic oils has cleaning additives, which prevents the build-up of carbon deposits.

Lower the oil-change interval if you feel like it, instead. All my Saabs have more than 150.000 miles on the clock, and if you remove the top lid, the engine is all fine and clean inside. Cheers!
