Use FULL SYNTHETIC oil products from reputable manufacturers (Mobil 1, Amsoil etc.) , instead of the semi-synthetic oil OE spec'd for your 9-5 SAAB.
(Castrol is absent from my post, because it's different product in the USA market than the rest of the world. In my opinion, it's a low quality synthetic product in the USA.)
Follow the viscosity recommendations in your owners manual. Change your high quality FULL SYNTHETIC engine oil, and filter, at 5,000 mile intervals, while in SAAB warranty.
xW-30 FULL SYNTHETIC produts will be fine for 99.9% of you owners who read this post. Use xW-40 products for "extreme" conditions--defined as you like: high speeds, hot climates, towing, to name some.
Hey, this has worked for me, using xW-30 FULL SYNTHETIC in my situation,---I've never had oil related engine problem.
After warranty ends, perform oil analysis, or use 1 yr/10,000 miles on high quality, FULL SYNTHETIC oil, should be no problem.
