I bought one 01 9-5 aero with engine noise.
It's only 43K miles on it and it had all the service done at 3K,9K(for 10K service), 13K, 17K, 21K(for 20K service), 25K, 30K(for 30K service), 34K, 39K, and so far. (Luckly I got history from previously owner)
Currently it's in the dealership in order to change whole motor. I saw some oil pan had similar sludge build up, but I've never seen valve cover has so much sludge like this.
I couldn't took pic of oil pan but mechanic said oil pan has more than two quart worth of sludge build up.
Previous owner never abused car and he living in NJ to commute to NYC.
He used what ever saab dealership putted in it so it should be semi-synthetic.
It's kind of scary.
Saab ended up paying close to 5 grand for this job.
