No sludge at 110k?

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't imagine a car with 110k miles with a history of fossil oil use that wouldn't have at least a moderate sludge build up.
I participated in a test for Albemarle Corp., who makes additives for synthetic oils, where they took two identical cars and ran them for 30k miles under normal conditions, one with premium fossil and the other with M1 using 3k oil change intervals for both. At 30k, the fossil-oil car had significant sludge built up in the oil pan and under the valve covers. Unless the oil was changed every week, I can't imagine an engine using fossil oil at 110k that didn't have significant sludge build up, but maybe it is possible.
In all fairness, I have no reason to believe the solency of Amsoil to be deficient in any way.
