New Saabs come from the factory with a semi-synthetic oil, likely sourced from Castrol. I have been using Castrol semi-synthetic for changes on my 9-3 and am quite satisfied. I am one who thinks that oil changes with full synthetic are not necessary for any significant improvements in performance, mileage or engine life. Over the reasonable ownership life of a typical Saab, using semi-synthetic over overpriced and overmarketed full synthetic could save you around $500.
