What else did they do to the cars? And how do they know the oil was the problem? What oil did they use? How often was it changed?
Weight is less the issue than the quality of the oil and change interval. Use a synthetic oil that is ACEA A3/B3 rated, change it every 5K miles and you'll be fine.
I use Mobil 1 10w40 High Mileage or Castrol Syntech 5w40 or 5w50 in our 2003 9-5 and our other 3 Saabs with no issues. FWIW, the 9-5 had 0w40 until it hit about 80,000 miles at the end of the CPO warranty (when I stopped having the dealer change the oil) and I went to the 10w40 with no issues.
