Thanks for the posts. To alleviate some sludge concerns the car is a SE V6.
Per my other post below I turned in my 04 Aero post lease and switched to the V6 side of the debate...I like the V6 a lot better for the 0 to 30 mph city driving that I I do.
I went to the dealer for the inspection because the car I found at 97K looked clean and still had a free timing belt coming from Saab.
The indy I use is really good but is not any cheaper than the dealer.
NOW as it turns out the drain plug is probably cross threaded...is resistant to vice grips and pipe wrenches...and I need to find a spare drain pan just in case more radical means of plug removal damage the pan.
