I wouldn't have a problem running the Dino oil I use (Chevron Delo 400 15W-40) in all Saabs if the customer wants it.
That one carry the A3/B3 rating.
This is a heck of a good oil and I see no problems with it in all the older cars I use it in.
6 month 5K miles between changes.
Some customer stretch it even up to 7-8K even though I don't recommend it.
I think it still comes down to time interval just as much as mile interval.
If you don't drive more than 5K miles in 6 month, don't wait a year to do the oil change just because you are hell bent on 10K miles between changes.
I drive my car every day but only about 3K per year and do 2 oil changes, the oil is pretty nasty after 1500 miles and all those cold starts.
