Whatever synthetic oil you use should have 40 or 50 as the second number. The 9-5 4 cylinder runs the oil hotter to drive off moisture and help reduce sludge buildup, and 30 weight is just too thin at those temperatures. Rule of thumb: 20 degrees F is worth about one "number" on the visosity scale.
Mobil 1 0W40 satisfies GM's proprietary "long life" standard. That standard didn't exist when your car was made, and there are no systems in the car that presume its use (i.e., the oil life monitor as used on the 9-3SS). It's presumtuous to say that you "must" use it, but if you were to adhere to the rediculous 10,000 mile oil change interval, it would give you your best chances of avoiding problems. (i.e., the "slim" choice given that your chances are slim and none). IMO
