Bought my '01 95 with 25k miles from a private, off-lease dealer. At 31k took it to my local SAAB dealer for 30k service. Asked them about rough idling and a "chatter" that had developed at idle. They found the hydraulic oilers for the timing chains were plugged with sludge and rebuilt the whole top of the engine under warranty ($1600 repair).
Since then I've been religious about oil changes at 3k miles with Penzoil semi-syn. Just turned 60k and still going strong! Read once that "frequent oil changes (3-5k miles) are the single most important thing you can do to extend the life of your engine". My teenager drives my '95 Mazda 626 -- now at 197k and frankly, idles smoother than my 9-5. Change that oil!!!
