How often do you change the oil, Fred? On my C900, I change as soon after 3000 miles as I can remember. I'm of the opinion that a 9-5 HPT should be changed as frequently. I keep thinking about a 9-5 (yeah, yeah ... As well as a 9000 Anni), just to give the C900 a break and get it done up to the standard that I cannot while it is in daily and quite constant use. A 9-5 of that era (early 2000s) is within the price range that I'm prepared to pay. I'd go for a 2.3 Sedan. Very plush cars, indeed. Do we know what the actual cause of the sludging is? From what I have read, it is a problem with the crankcase breathing/vent system, which SAAB put forward a fix and then seemed to withdraw. Was it down to the internal shape of the catch tank? Maybe that was an additional problem. Dave (Hinz) - did you resolve your issue? On a second-hand car, what would an ideal fix be? Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
