I have a 2001 Sebring with the 2.7, 48k miles. I read on car and driver that the primary cause of engine sludge has to do with just the opposite you mention- cool engine running, especially on cars that are driven short distances regularly. I drive lots of miles, but frankly push oil changes out a bit more than i should. anyhow, the gist of the car and driver report was that these engines are slow to warm up (true in my case) and frequent long runs avoid the problem. Certainly worries me, but consider the zillions of these motors in service....I would think it would be top story on 60 minutes if they really failed in high percentages.
