Mini crystallized chunks in oil pan. Sludge?

I had a very productive weekend under the car, PCV#6 and additional hoses, fuel filter and full oil change. While the drain plug was out, I decided to do the coat hanger scrape test of the oil pan.
I did it a number of times, and among relatively clean oil, it picked up a small number of hard crystallized chunks, less than half a millimeter in size, and no more than 5 particles with each try. They certainly didn't look like coffee grinds. They were almost transparent, oil coloured, but are they the beginning of Sludge?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm not too concerned yet. I used Amsoil 5W40 Euro formula and Amsoil Ea filter, and plan to do an Amsoil flush next change, in 8,000 Km.
Thanks.
