No sorry, however there are two 70000km gaps in the log books, but I dont think it would still be working with that sort of service interval. To prevent it happening to your engine run a full-synthetic oil with a high detergent content, and drop the oil every 5000 to 10000 kms depending on your driving style. Definitely dont do the dealer-recommended service interval of 15, 000km.
Did I read that right , that was two 70,000KM gaps ? As above , do a couple of filter changes @ 500kms , and then do a few 1000kms services , running a flush with a engine that sludged , I'm not sure about .
