I buy only oil which meets Saabs specifications for the 2.0T engine, 6 liters of it, from the cheapest source in the area, and I ask for their 15% good customer discount if they don't automatically include it.
It is usually almost $40 for the 5 litre jug plus another $8 or $9 for the one litre additional bottle.
Add to that the cost of the small open media filter which is another $10+ (unless Amazon is having one of their $5 Purolator sales).
