I've seen a number of these - presumably you participated in the Saab specific OilMedic program, so your results went into the data base.
As people pointed out, fuel dillution is very high on your sample. This car isn't noted for that (unlike what another poster mentioned) - yours is the first I've seen with fuel dillution. Keep an eye out for that.
Oxidation and nitration are thought to be the main culprits in oil breakdown and sludge formation in these cars. Yours looks a little high for just 6000 miles - although normally we see between 20 and 25 (I still have no idea what the units are) for 5000 miles. I'd want to check the PCV system and update to the latest version if you haven't. The thought here is to get the evil vapors out of the crankcase as quickly as possible.
