Engine replaced due to oil pressure problem

I have had to replace my engine in my 97 900s due to a broken main bearing probably caused by the oil pressure problem that has been discussed on this BB before. (I also didn't have the oil light coming on). I only had 50K miles on the car and I have changed the oil regularly since I bought the car with 30K miles on it. (It was leased before).
Anyway, after spending a lot of money I now have a used engine with about 80K miles on it. The car runs fine, but I have no idea how well this engine was maintained. (It was from a totaled car). I would like to ask the experts here on the BB how to prevent that this happens again? Should I start using synthetic oil? Should I have the engine flushed? Or is it better to have the oil pan removed and cleaned? Is there any other potential problems that I should worry about (such as a blown head gasket) given the mileage of this engine? Would I be better off selling the car and buying a used 9-3? I really can't afford spending more money on this car!
Thanks... Jesper
