specifically the oil pump pick-up screen, then shortly thereafter your engine is toast, expensive to fix toast. Saab recommended synthetic oils when the cars were new but a little longer change interval than really prevented the sludge formation, some think the placement of the Cat converter under the sump caused this issue by cooking the oil, but who knows. Saab is pretty much done replacing motors for free, so you have to have it checked by someone who knows, for this reason proof of oil change over the life of the vehicle is important. Dropping the oil pan is the best way to check things out, these are robust engines so if the sludge chacks out you are good to go for many many miles,
