when a couple of years ago, same symptoms.
car started making funny noises. drove a few miles and pulled off the road where the car struggled to run. tried to crank it but nothing.
after a few minutes, it started and only ran for a few more miles before the engine seized up completely.
oil sump gets clogged and isnt able to pull any oil through, but that damn oil light in the dash is sometimes hard to see with a glare on your instrument panel :)
local saab mechanic told me that he had 6 NG900 saabs in a year with that saab problem.
i think saab should be responsible for it.
found a used engine at a junkyard for 1500 and dropped it in.
i make it a point to clean out the oil pan and sump every 20k now.
