Bi-Tron according to the specs is a pure oil additive with no teflon, solids or other bits in it. Caltex apparently tried to buy N/A/T/O for use of their Bi-Tron products in the GTX Magnetic line of oils and when turned down have done their best to copy it. I am curious as to whether or not this is true. Also, the oil I use in Penrite HPR Turbo 20W-70, not Penzoil, I mistyped it in my original post. It is apparently designed specifically for use in Turbo charged engines under Australian (hot) conditions. I have not seen any posts in the multitude of oil threads with this sort of a rating and am curious if there is anyone with information as to whether this stuff is really suitable for Saabs. It does seem to work rather well even in the cold, we go skiing for our brief ski season and the car runs and starts fine even at -15 Celsius (5 Farenheit).
