Members of my family have run two Saabs well over 250,000 miles each on dino oil with no problems and are currently runing two newer Saabs with the same. Granted, we change oil every 4000 miles. I know I am going to raise a flag to the synthetic afficionados but I am told that synthetics were mainly developed for aircraft turbine engines which make them good for turbos but they are not recommended for aircraft piston engines. Supposedly, although they break down less in heat, synthetics have a lower heat capacity and are less effective in carrying away heat from cylinder walls.
