Heh. That was 52k kilometers. I don't know exactly what SAAB's official
change intercal is on a late-model LPT motor, but I suspect is a lot closer
to 10k km than 3-5k km. Let that slip a couple of times, and you could be
looking at 12k+ km old oil. Depending on driving habits and climate
conditions (and the fact that the oil was probably changed with a cheap
non-synthetic product), I would no be surprised if it was very black indeed.
