Although I've seen plenty SAAB 205 235 engines that were sludged up, last year I did a turbocharger on a 2001 9-3 convertible. The original Mitsubishi turbo had seized up. I took the pan down as a precaution, and low and behold it was clean as a whistle.
The car had over 100k on it, its original PVC setup and I know it had irregular oil changes. It was not well taken care of. I couldn't believe it was clean inside.
Its not all doom and gloom.
