    Change to oil more often, or go on longer drives.

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Well, I'd do an engine oil flush. Pretty reasonable and almost any shop can do it.

    Forgot to mention. After the flush start using synthetic oil like Mobile 1. No more sludge :)
