I use dino oil in my non-turbo and change often, every 4 months or 5k miles. We could debate all day about dino v synth and 5k v. 15k mile oil changes, but I won't go there.
The only thing I would suggest is to get oil that is in the upper range of the recommended viscosity. I have done several UOA (used oil analyses) on Delo 400 and Havoline and they have all shown that viscosity was in the lower range, sometimes going down 1 grade (e.g., 40w oil tested in the 30w range). In addition, in reviewing other Saabs UOAs, there was a definite trend in viscosity degradation. Its not only my opinion but others have said these engines are tough on oil viscosity.
