Full synthetic is good.

I do use full synthetic oil in my Saab and my Porsche. I am hoping that at $5 a quart I don't have this sludge problem. But I fear that others had even though they too used full synthetic oil.
There is also an oil flush that you can do, but those of us who religiously change the oil every few months, would never think we are getting buildup. The only real way to tell is to drop the oil pan, which shouldn't be considered normal maintenance.
It is happening too often, not to be an engine design flaw.
