2001 called for semi-synth

My 2001 lpt 9-5 wagon calls for 5w-30 semi-synthetic oil, and says that 0w-30, 0w-40, or 5w-40 is fine so long as it's semi-synth and meets API SJ and ACEA A3/B3 requirements.
Since my wife does a lot of short trips, I just changed out the Saab semi-synthetic 5w-30 after 2.5k miles (in 5 months!) for Mobil 1 0w-40 and will change again in 3-4 months. I will probably also experiment with the Amsoil 5w-40 and maybe the new Schaeffer's Supreme 9000 5w-40, since a good deal is available for that over on bobistheoilguy.com.
