I don't know what to tell you to do, like you said its a coin toss. I have a 150k mile 4.8 that looks that clean, and a 995k mile 6.0 that was so sludged up I don't think the oil was ever changed. If you go to get another one, pull the oil filler out and look at the rocker you can see, it will tell you if its had regular oil changes at least.
