Find someone else to look at it before you do anything! Your $ numbers seem outrageously high. Changing oil will not "disturb" anything and cause sludge damage. If you're sludged, why not get your existing engine cleaned before damage occurs? Drop oil pan and valve cover, clean well, and give it a treatment with some kind of engine cleaner (AutoRx seems to be well thought of).
Do you have a V6? Never heard of a V6 with sludge... unless the oil was never changed in 75k!
