Change the oil?  No.  You dont have to do that.  Whoever told you that needs shagging.

the crud you have cleaned out is due to poor oil changes in the past and any poking around will have dropped some of the crud into the sump.. :y

it has been suggested here that it would be a good idea to change it if you've used a can of carb cleaner through the breather box  :y
