'Normal' for Saab Turbo....

I agree that in my 1998 SAAB 900 SET and 1984 SAAB 900T the Mobil 1 turned black in 1000 to 2000 miles. However my 1984 900T had 242,000 miles with no engine problems, period. So the 'black' Mobil 1 didn't hurt anything. BTW, I change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles.
Now in my 1991 Alfa-Romeo Spider and 1982 Jeep CJ the Mobil 1 stayed amber much longer, like 4000-5000 miles. So maybe it is the blow-by, or the rich fuel mixture while under boost, or whatever associated with the turbo.
Anyway the color of the oil doesn't seem to affect the lubricating properties. It is just 'that way' with oil in a SAAB.
