Sludge Issues

Now that my oil light has come on, I learn from my mechanic that oil sludge is fairly common in these cars. He has attributed a balance shaft chain problem to the oil sludge and possibly a problem with the turbo.
I've also learned all about the oil sludge letter from Saab and the purported extended warranty. I've read about lots of people who were refused warranty service for various reasons. I'm wondering how many people have come away satisfied--rebuilt engine, car running nicely, etc.
I'm also wondering what might be covered under the extended warranty besides the engine and possibly the turbo.
Thanks for the input.
