The only oil I would use that long is a good synthetic. And I'd change the filter at .5,000 miles If using a non-synthetic, I'd err on the side of caution and run no more than 3500-4000 on it. Keep in mind that the recommendation is based on European oil specs, much more stringent than US specs. >Also should I only have it >changed at a Saab dealer or are the Valvoline/Jiffy Lube 15 minutes >places ok. Well, the Jiffy Lube places are pretty much OK for the most part, but---- I've know a number of specialty shops (Saab, Volvo, BMW) who have done well fixing what the others did wrong<g> Dick in Falls Church, VA 85 900T Using and selling AMSOIL (First in Synthetics) over 22 years
