Default Should i be worry about Sludge

Should i be worry about sludge will happen or start develop, if i change my oil every 5000km with full-syn oil (mobile1/amsoil). Since my year of es (1997-1998) seen to have the sludge problem. Would sludge happen due to high milage? currenty right now i have about 250 000km
on the click..

or is it worth to have the dealer open the head(for $100) and take a look if i have sludge in my engine(since warranty on the sludge issus still EXIST)

From my understanding, the chances of oil sludge occurring in your engine are greater when you don't keep up with the recommended oil change intervals. So in your case, I see nothing there that attributes to the possibility of oil sludge in your car. Just keep changing your oil at regular intervals
