My C900's which have B201 engines have both just had oil/filter changes (the 1985 900i had awful oil - must have not been changed by the previous owner for a while), and I've use Shell Helix Ultra to replace the old oil. Some of the SCCA members I've asked about oils have recommended it, so while it's not cheap (A$55 for 5 litres), I figure it's going to be better for the engines in the longer term. Both engines had an oil flush product added and the engine run until it was warm before draining. On a related issue - it's interesting that people are talking about 99's made in 1984. Did 99's post-1980 make it into all of Saab's markets at the time, or only in Europe?
