Like AlexC said, I'd definitely run at least one Auto-Rx application thru it. My personal favorite oil for Saab turbos is Mobil 1 15W-50, but their new 5W-40 looks to be smash-success for oil-shreding engines like ours. Both of these oils will easily stand up to 10,000 mile oil change intervals. The M1 0W-40 is another 10,000 mile oil, but I think the first two are better for our engines. Amsoil's 20W-50 & new 5W-40 are also excellent 10,000 mile choices.
Schaeffer's semi-syn & Shell's Rotella T full syn are also great oils for somewhat less money, but Alex's 6k mi cap is probably as far as I'd take 'em too. (This makes the lower cost a moot point.) All the M1 xW-30 oils are also great oils, but I'm not a fan of lower High Temperature/High Shear oils in our higher HT/HS turbo engines.
