My wife drives our '99 9³ around town, so it sees 95%+ short trip (less than 10 mi) service in temp ranges from 100°F summer traffic to 0°F cold starts at the mall in winter. With this kind of driving, it takes us about 14 mos to reach our 10k mile change interval. I've been having the used oil analyzed for several years now, & it's been holding up very well against sludging. With Mobil 1's current formulations of 0W-40, 5W-40 & 15W-50, I feel there's little concern for sludge buildup.
