TG,
Your point about Saab's decision to use a high-quality oil for it's cars is well taken, however they are warrantied for ONLY 50K. Saab is only responsible up to that point, so in many respects, they are most concerned about how much oil gunk/sludge will build up in that interval, not past it.
Most of us expect to get far more miles on the odometer, and I think that is what drives some of us to look closer at the new oils coming out, such as 0W-40. Will a Saab on 5W-30 go as long as one on 0W-40? Probably, but there are also those of us that live in colder regions that appreciate the benefits of that lower viscosity rating.
