Many manufacturers now provide free maintenence for 30-40K. To cut down on the cost of free maintenence, the maintenence intervals are longer. My 99 and 00 and maybe even 01 Saabs had scheduled maintenence intervals of 10K which have now been stretched to 15k. So your free maintenence does not include oil changes other than every 15K.
This is probably the reason for sludge as many of the first of these cars on 15k intervals were having semi-synth oil put in them by the dealers. Even the best pure synthetic oils can't really last that long. Turbo heat makes the oils degrade even faster.
Saab says to change oil every 7500 miles if the car is driven hard. Of course when you read how they define driven hard, it includes most driving situations other than liesurely highway miles in cool weather.
