The sludging that's being seen have been the 4cylinder cars running on regular grade oil (9-5's 99-01), in 02 that 9-5 ARC (V6) would have semi-synthetic oil and oil sludging is not an issue with the V6. My guess is that the car still has semi-synthetic oil. I still wouldn't be afraid of the car, I would change over to full synthetic and change the oil every 5k.
One other thing to remember, TIMING BELT replacement, is at 60k SAAB picks up the tab on that one, if you keep the car to 120k, it's on you. See othe postings on the Timing belt issue. GOOD LUCK!
