Take a longer drive once a week or so

When the car is cold, you got water vapors and unburned hydrocarbons (fuel) condensing in the oil. By getting the oil good and hot, all that junk evaporates before sludge can form.
I think if you took a longer drive. thirty minutes or more, once a week or so, it would go a long way toward keeping your oil in good shape. So if your normal schedule doesn't call for such a drive, just go out for a weekly drive "for the fun of it."
