I agree with Mr. Norm. Engines don't just "mysteriously" sieze. There has to be a simple explanation - either a major cooling system failure causing overheating (unlikely on a short post-servcie test drive), or a serious lack of engine oil (not just a quart or two below full). Most likely the dealer tech did not refill the engine oil - this will cause an engine to seize within a few miles.

Any engine with 60k miles is going to have some sludge in the oil pan - you never get everything out when you change the oil. But it won't cause the engine to seize. It sounds like a pretty pathetic excuse for denying a warrantee claim.
