If you think it is sludge, I would pull the oil pan, if you have the time and inclination. You can confirm your diagnosis, and clean the screen on the oil pick up tube, besides getting the gunk out of the pan. Once you get the major gunk out you can try one of the oil cleaning products. I can't recommend any from experience, but it seems like BG makes a good product. "Dick in Falls Church" recommends an AMSOIL product that I'm sure is also good.
The danger in putting in a cleaner without first getting the stuff out of the pan and cleaning the screen is that some of the particles could be broken up, pulled through the pump and lodged some where that they could do some damage, like a bearing.
