my engine doesn't have any sludge buildup at the moment. I'm just trying to look out for the long term of it so I can have as little problems as necessary.
Find me a car on this Forum that has sludge buildup caused by something other than an L36 UIM failure.
Sludge is not a common word here. 3800'* aren't prone to oil-related failures, sludge, or wear as long as oil changes are done on a regular basis.
Turn your attention to something other than sludge.

I agree that the proper oil change intervals based upon what you use is more important than the type. Use the 3 month/3k miles for regular oil, and you may be able to push roughly twice that for synthetic, which is the main benefit of using synthetic.
If you want to worry about something with only driving that distance, worry about the exhaust system - but that'* another topic.
