...immediately. Don't know if this is the cause but you need it anyway. In case you're not aware there is a flaw in this system that was not corrected until 2004/2005 models. The flaw has been known to be directly related to engine sludging problems, which spell disaster for your 9-5 if you don't look into it. Have them do the update (or you it's pretty easy as a DIY if you order the parts), and have them take the cam cover off and inspect for sludge. Also remove the oil plug and use a coat hanger or something to scrape the bottom of the oil pan for signs of sludge. If you see signs you need a complete engine flush it you want to keep the car much longer honestly. You're already changing oil often enough but make sure you're using mobil 1 0w-40 at you're changes. Good luck.
