sludge and 110,000 miles

Hi folks, Being concerned about my engine and sludge, I decided to install the mod 6 PCV system. While it is out of service, I decided to pop the cam box cover off and just see how much sludge there was/is in my engine.
I change oil about every 10,000 miles, my records show 12 oil changes since new and 24 filters. I have used only SAAB oil or Castrol Synthetic since new. The engine has 110,456 mile4s on it
The results are that the cam sprockets and all parts are a beautiful golden color about like honey color absolutely no evidence of sludge at all so for what it is worth using good oil and not exceeding the factory recomended change frequency apparently works. Changing filters more often is my idea and I believe it helps extend the life of the engine. (I use only SAAB or WIX filters) I am taking pictures so if any one wishes to see how clean the engine is e-mail me and I will send pictures. I am very happy to say the least but I am still installing the new PCV system so I can make 200,000 miles sludge free!
