I got the letter from Saab today as a registered owner for a 9-5. They explain that there was an "oil sludge" issue with the 9-5 and that I may be elligible for a repair. However, they ask that I provide proof that the car had regular oil changes and give me a chart to fill out. I've got two problems with this: 1: I 'm the second owner of the car and have nothing up to about 65K miles when I bought it 2: I do all of my oil changes myself (did one last weekend as a matter of fact) and pay cash for oil and filters. I have no receipts. It appears that my turbo is failing, probably due to this issue as I'm told that the oil seals are going and I'm getting blow-by. Don't know if this was covered by this new 8-year unlimited mileage warranty, but since I have no "proof" am I screwed? was this how the recall was done in other countries? I thought that the European one didn'thave such requirements? later
