I have a 305 out of my grandmother's 78 Malibu that has oil sludge LITERALLY 3/8" thick (even thicker in some places) in the lifter valley and rocker arm deck.

It only had 33K miles on it. All of it 2-3 mile trips to the grocery store or church. Oil never got hot. Sludge just kept building and building until the motor started making some pretty strange noises.
