My 03 Linear had no sludge at 40K when I took it over after 4-yr lease, personally checked popping the head cover off. Always Mobil 1 0w-40 at 10K interval or even a bit longer, and w/o PCV6 update then. I do fully agree that the sludge issue is pretty much isolated to particular driving condition, more exposed by less-than-optimal PCV design and lesser grade of oil.
It is a shame that SAAB 4 banger gets a bad rep with it, which is supposedly a bullet-proof (and had been for years.) Regardless, the key is to thoroughly inspect each car to see it for yourself, if any doubt. If people just go by posting on this BB with all kind of problems w/ 9-5, I wonder if anybody would buy one.....really it is not that bad.
