How do recommend cleaning oil sludge from engine without pulling oil pan

Use a high quality oil with lots of detergent and change the oil and filter more frequently than you usually do.

I use a magnetic drain plug to help keep metal particles out of the oil and also a high quality oil filter. Stay away from those cheap orange Fram filters. The silver or gold Fram filters are good though.
