The sludging with short trips is not really a turbo issue. Don't worry about throwing away good oil, many folks are changing at 5-6K with 0W40 oil and driving profiles that are normal. Can you fit some longer drives into your week?
Quick lube places will strip the soft steel drain plug head with the wrong socket or a 12 point socket. Or they will overtighten and strip the threads or crack the pan. And will not replace the copper washer and it will leak. We have seen some scarey stories. So there are issues.
