Unhappy Engine Sluge

Engine Sludge - Dealer told me the previous owner did not change oil at proper interval and the engine is full of sludge - Lexus Will replace engine/ required parts under extended warranty - Anyone heard of this before. :
The dealer said if oil is changed as specified in Owner's guilde 7500 max then with this engine because it runs normally warmer than others - the oil breaks down. If it is changed from 3000 - 5000 max then it will not break down. The dealer said Lexus would replace the engine once but not again. The engine has 66,000 mile.
Has anyone heard of such stuff.....
