2001 9-5 SE Oil sludge buildup

My 2001 9-5 SE with 75-K miles has oil sludge buildup so bad that the dealer hesitates to change oil and the filter because, according to the dealer, it may disturb the sludge buildup and damage the engine. I can get a new engine now at $14K, or get the 60-K mile maintenance done at $2,500, which includes oil and filter change, and risk damaging the engine (which will cost me $14K after all). How likely is it, when oil sludge builup exists, that the changing of oil and the filter will destroy the engine?
