0w-20 is a thin oil that will flow very freely through the engine. However, I doubt it will "dilute" the sludge to an acceptable level, plus it does not meet the ACEA 3 required by Saab.
Do not use any sludge cleaners that contain petroleum distillates (some use kerosene). Too aggressive. Amsoil should be fine but I think Auto-Rx will work better. There's plenty of discussion of this product on Bobstheoilguy.com, with no negatives.
