I purchased my 03 AERO with approximately the same miles on it, only used Synth oil and did the latest PVC update one month after purchasing it. A few months ago, after reaching 150k I dropped the oil pan just out of curiosity and found the oil pick up screen a bit occluded with sludge gravel, I would say 30%. I replaced the pick up along with the o-rings just to play it safe.
I purchased a lease-return but obviously the first 50k or so miles we rough on the car. I believe the sludge happened prior to me purchasing it as there were no service records and it still had the old PVC system.
This is my 3rd 2.3 turbo and all have been bullet-proof. Correct maintenance here is the key!
Cheers!
Carlo
