This just proves that the SAAB turbo oil "which is Euro Mobil 1" will last the 15,000 mile oil change intervals. I changed the factory fill at 3,000. Thats why there was no sign of metal in the oil.

We tend to find high wear and silcon in new engines such as your SAAB. The fact that we didn't find either here shows that your engine is wearing in quite nicely and has no mechanical problems to speak of. We did a little fuel in the oil, which is also a common find in new engines. Its typically there because the rings are still seating. It has lowered the viscosity a bit, but we think the fuel will disappear and the viscosity will return to normal in the next sample. Feel free to run your oil longer.
This is from another guys UOA. He went 14,800 with the factory fill.
