We've discussed the sludge issue before, and it is NOT a widespread problem.
Granted, TERRIBLE when it happens, but it is preventable.
1. Update PCV on pre-2004 cars.
2. Follow proper oil-change regimen.
PROPER, not just convenient.
OK, so GM/SAAB bear some responsibility. Recommending semi-synth and 10k mile oil-change intervals, when PROPER. Some driving routines would allow 10k with semi-synth, most would not.
Has any "regular" lister here had engine failure due to sludge, other than chris? Even with yours, you don't know service history for first 45k miles, nor do you know how the engine failed. Did you install PCV#6?
