Although the thread has been removed and I don't understand why,
you mentioned that you used Mobil 1 15W-50 in your 9000. If you
run your 9000 like I do, I would think this would qualify your operating
conditions as 'extreme', at least occasionally! Yet, there has been
a service bulletin from Saab that recommends using 0W-40 for
'extreme' conditions with 9000's. Being that you're so much
further north in latitude than we are in New England, I would think
that the 15W-50 wouldn't be so great for cold weather start-ups?
I'm wondering if I should go half and half with 0W-30 and 15W-50.
0W-40 is very difficult to locate here, but I figure a 50/50 blend of both
would give me 7.5W-40.
