Okay, I'm jus' messin' with ya.
I agree with you on the 0W-30. If my dealer was offering to give me free oil changes using Saab full syn 0W-30 I'd definitely go that route too. I just hate to see you sticking with 10W-30 once you're OOW. I know you like the stability of it, but even if the 0W-40 shears to 12cSt it's still 20% "better" in your high-speed turbo bearings than non-sheared 10cSt 10W-30. And no Saab dealer should have ANY issues using M1 0W-40!! Jus' flash dat oily thang in his face & watch his jaw drop! (I'm talking about the Saab oil TSB of course!) Any full syn's xW- low-end rating is usable in your area, so just like 15W- won't cause any problems, 0W- won't provide any benefits.
As for documentation, I agree with Ed NC, only I don't even bother with the receipts. I simply fill in the mileage, date, oil brand & type, & filter brand & type into the owner's manual. Like Ed said, it's only going to be a concern if there's ever an oil-related failure, & I know that's never going to happen with the oils I use. (And having worked for an insurance underwriter providing extended car warranties has made me less paranoid about who'll be "right" & "wrong" in such a case.)
Break free Jae! Run from the bondage of tiny minds & play in the open sunshine of improved protection & performance!!
Sorry, am I OT?
