Making them use a fully synthetic oil of high quality might have played a big role since we don't know how good that semi synthetic oil was that was introduced at the same time as the sludge problems appeared.
The semi synthetic looked good on paper but you never know since they also extended the oil change interval to 10K miles at the same time. That oil might not have been up to the task.
