If Saab is saying 9K intervals they are asking for trouble. I've been at my dealer when they had 2 9-5s in at the same time for new engines -- sludge. The service writer said that's not unusual. I've been at an indy while they were changing a "sludge motor" and said they do it too often. They also said they buy cars from auctions, look inside and immediately return them if they see evidence of sludge --which they do regularly.
These are great cars, with one known weakness. Oil is cheap, engines are expensive. Why mess with it?
