The LPT engine has had some problems when full synthetic oil and 5K mile changes are not the norm. There is quite a bit of oil discussion on this board so a search will find more than you ever wanted to know about oil. I have used Mobil 1 15W-50 since new with the exception of once at 100,000 when on a road trip. I would definitely ask Saab to help with the cost of a new engine. They are aware of the problems that have been occuring and hopefully will help. Keep us posted!
