Too late for an oil change?

Saw this on line. Does this pass the smell test. Bottom of the engine looked "to clean" to me. Also, never seen oil do this before.

That doesn't look like any type of sludge I've ever seen. The elasticity of the stuff is the first thing I noticed......

Not sure if the video above is real but an old buddy of mine who was a mechanic at Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills, told me about a lady who came in for her very first service at 35K miles with her CL55. And that the engine oil was in similar state as in the video, I believe they gave up on the engine and had to install a new one.
