engine trouble

My daughter was just told by the service manager at a local Saab dealership that her 2000 9-5 Aero's engine noise (coming from lower driver's side) could only be checked by opening the engine. She was also told it could be lifters (are they building engines with those on the BOTTOM these days?) I want her to find an independent Saab guy who will put the car on a lift, run the engine and use a stethescope to listen. Then drop the oil pan (with engine off, of course)and check for metal bits and do a visual inspection of the lower portion with the pan removed. I told her to get her oil changed and see if the noise level decreases before driving much more, since she has about 2,500 since last oil change. She changes her oil every 3K and has just over 100K miles and this noise was not audible until some time after her last oil change. Any ideas? Thanks, Val W.
