quote from the TSB
"9-5, 9-3 Convertible Service Intervals/Requirements: Requires Semi-Synthetic (sic) oil which meets ACEA A3/B3, API SJ specification or higher."
And then, SCUSA distributes their synthetic blend which is A1/B1, not A3/B3. Make no mistake, Saab Synthetic Blend is an *excellent* oil for what it is. Folks here have had a virgin oil analysis done, and the lab results confirm that. It just doesn't meet Saab's own printed requirements!
digression...there is no more semi-synthetic oil than there is a semi-pregnent woman. They are synthetic blend. Unless you choose to consider Group III oil as "semi", but that's not what the label will say.
