synthetic and installed a new filter when you put it away AND when you started it over the storage perios you let it warm up until the tail pipe was too hot to touch (if not the acids as a result of burning gas were left in your exhaust system and will shorten its life a lot) - personally I park the car, cover it and walk away until the spring. Over the storage period did you make sure there were no mice or squirrels chewing on the wiring, belts or upholstery, if not check now and plan on moth balls around and under the car next storage period. Next, pull the coil wire from the distributor cap, let the engine crank for 5 to 15 seconds and then reinstall the wire, start the car and go for a drive of at least 30 minutes stopping at the service station to top up the tires. While there, check all the fluids (including power steering and brake/clutch containers). While driving be easy on the brakes the first few stops as the surface rust on the rotors gets worn off. Park and try the parking brake moving slowly forward as you hold the lever so the brake shoes remove the surface rust in the parking brake drum. From then on keep the smile on your face that driving a Saab convertible brings - :-> :-)
