When I first got into my 03 Aero, I was pleased that the recommended oil change interval was set for every 10k, which is what the "free" scheduled maintenance intervals call for. But as soon as the "free" service was over with, the Saab mechanic said that the oil smelled burnt and that there was some sludge in it. He recommended oil changes at 5k and advised on switching to full synthetic. The car had been running on semi-synthetic.
How ironic it was when I got this letter from Saab explaining the "sludge" issue and advising on improved oil management. I want this car to last at least 300-400k, so I plan on doing the oil changes religoiusly at every 5k. I just switched to Wal-Mart for the full-syn oil change service(only). They charge $35, which is half as much as I was paying at another indy!
