I'm not getting a new engine, the dealership only said that i'm getting the "oil sludge kit".

Default It should be fine. They are going to redo what needs to be done. With synthetic oil and...

The bigger oil filter, you should have a reliable car.

Yup, but change that oil with synthetic every 5K miles. Not 10K miles like what caused it.

Default what oil was being used and how long between changes?

like Jet says, you should be fine, but you might want to change a few things like start using a good quality synthetic oil. Change it more frequently if you do a lot of short trips and if most of your miles are city driving.
