It is my view that the frequency of oil changes is MUCH more important than the oil you use. Our oldest Saab, a '83 with 285k, has had good ol' Pennzoil 10-30 since new and still runs like a top. However, the oil is changed every 2.5 to 3k. Our 9-5's both run with full synthetic, but are changed every 5k to minimize any sludge risk and to extend the turbos' lives - I hope! Full synthetic and frequent changes are realitively cheap insurance to keep your 9-5 humming for 200k+. Here's to your happy Saab story.
