"But basically you're saying, use synthetic oil and change filters 4 times as often as SAAB recommends? "
NO thats not what I said. I stated, the oil filter needs to be 4 times larger.
The less that oil filter bypass valve opens the better.
I tell ya what ... Get a Mann oil Filter for a Saab and cut it open and fish out the filter medium. Tell me it dont look the size that belongs in a lawn mower motor. The quality is excellent. My mechanical reasoning says the bypass valve is opening more than it should. The Saab Filter is Larger, but not by much.
Did you catch the word "Basic" on synthetic oil and engine metals?
