Tune up items noted

I completed doing all of the 30,000 mile servicing on our 2000 9-5 with 30,300 miles on it. Noted the following items that fellow 9-5 owners may want to keep in mind when doing tune up related servicing on their cars:
1. One of the torx screws holding down the di cassette was missing and the other three screws were fairly loose. Need to periodically check these screws for tightness (and not wait until 30,000 miles) and also apply some Loc-tite thread locker to the screws.
2. The air filter was really pretty well shot with no light visible through the pleats when a flashlight was placed on the opposite side. 30,000 miles really appeared to be the extreme mileage that this filter was usable.
3. Took the opportunity to tighten up a number of the torx bolts holding down the valve cover which surronds the di cassette. A few of these bolts had also loosened up.
4. Also changed the oil and ATF. Put in 0W-40 VollSythese synthetic motor oil, which is ACEA rated. This oil is reported to be very good, and it will be interesting to see what type of a performance/mileage difference it may make.
Happy New Year to my fellow Saab owners and thanks for your postings during the past year. This BB only gets better as time goes by!
