if it's a 2.3L arc, then it's 2004-2005... you probably have less to worry about re sludge (since it came from the factory with a better PCV setup + Mobil 1 spec'ed from day 1), though shorter oil changes would be preferable. I would probably just do that: shorten your oil change interval to 5k. Save your money on the pan drop for other things (suspension, etc?)... unless you know it has had a hard life (mainly short trips, towing, etc)...
If it's an older arc, it's a 6 cylinder + sludge is a non-concern, and arcs were not available 2006+...
