I am sure someone out there is more knowledgeable about this topic then me, but I’ll give you my two cents.
From what I understand, the dealership that issued the CPO certification on your car has a certain time frame and mileage limit in which they are responsible for any claims. Therefore, I would put forth that there is a disincentive for that dealer to acknowledge that your car may have an oil sludge problem, or any other major (costly) problem for that matter, because they would have to fix it on their dime. If you believe you may have an oil sludge problem you might want to take it to another dealership.
As to how one determines if you have a sludge problem, someone else needs to offer up some appropriate tests. I will tell you though that after I changed my oil it indeed still appeared very dark and dirty.
Good luck
