Within the first 100,000 miles, Saab/GM warranties are in effect. If the engine sludges up due to Saab's recommended extended oil changes, then this falls within the warranty coverage. Either Saab/GM believes the extended oil change service will not sludge the engine or that the sludging problem will occur after 100,000 miles. Anyway, with the quality of todays oil, auto manufactures are recommending extended oil changes, so Saab is not alone in this regard.Now we hear that Daimler-Chrysler is offering a lifetime warranty on their drive trains. If the auto companies are wrong with their extended oil change recommendations, they would be replacing many engines which is not good bussiness or marketing sense. The 3K or even 5K oil change freqency is a mantra many of us can ignore.
