The web page has not been updated, It does meet A3 specification. I just bought $125 worth and can send a pic if you like on the bottle. All specs are up to date on it. Even the Mercedes one. They also make a european 5w-40 that is endorsed by saab on the bottle. The 0w-30 is much better oil however. It is racing oil and in my mind the best product and oil available anywhere right now. Just purchased 4 gals of it a case and I am going to be set for next 4 yrs, be sure though to change oil filter at 6k miles. I drain at 12-15k, however you can go up to 35k in one yr and still be fine with it. Its $25 a gallon preferred price and the best stuff I have found. If you want prove look up on google the motor oil bible and check the viscosity and ratings on it and the acea is over 3.5 rating meeting A3 spec. It the highest quality oil available anywhere. I am going to get an oil analysis test done at 12k this time after a first filter change and I will post the results. That way i may even be able to go longer as for conventional this 0w-30 says 25k normal or up to 35k in one yr. I swear by this stuff I am getting 625 miles a tank on the hwy and have at least a 5 hp gain and the smoothness is incredable. Its not even dirty before a filter change. The wear test is tougher than the other amsoil oils and the scar rating is so low it beats other synthetics. Purest and best oil and one of the most expensive to produce. I am even using it over the european formula, as the 40 weight just is not nessecary with a synthetic. Engine temp is lower and mpg higher than a 40 weight too. If you want to drive hard on your car 80% of the time go with the european 5w-40 blend then if it makes your feel more comfortable. I have not used it though but at 35k I am sticking to the bomb 2000 series 0w-30, I was told its better and I can see it is in the specs. Not concerned with 30 weight, the turbo is going to go out and over >3.5 acea is more than enough to protect it until it does and 0w-30 meets A3 spec.
