Short trips are the worst and undoubtedly contribute to sludging, espec if combined with long factory recommended oil change intervals. I think you're pushing the envelope a bit but not extremely so - I feel safer on my 01 LPT with 7500 mi intervals full synthetic (it had some sludging at 90K from prior owner neglecting maintenance) and it is used on mostly highway drives. Now at 130K with no further issues. On my 04 Arc which gets 75% highway but some stop/go I do a 5-6000 mile change, again full synthetic. I also feel highway driving in general produces almost no wear on a vehicle and results in very high longevity, even on American cars/trucks.
