>The service manual I have doesn't discriminate between year models, but nowhere is a 0w40 listed.<
Of course a 0W-40 wasn't listed, as it wasn't developed, when the car was! Besides that, you cannot see if an oil is within specs by looking at the viscosity, but by looking at the API-rating. The higher the rating, the better the oil. Meaning that if you use a SJ rated oil, it's exceeds the specs of an SH-rated oil, meaning that Saab wouldn't be able to deny you warranty, as the oil fullfilled the rating of the SH-oil (example) and THEN SOME!!!
About the the numbers: Whether you use an 15W-40 oil or an 0W-40 doesn't mean ANYTHING at all, as they're both -40 multigrade oils. This means that they both have the same viscosity at higher temp. The advantage here would go to the 0W-oil, as it would mean faster lubrication, when first starting the engine, secondly it would lower your fuelconsumption. And I know this for a fact aka personal experiences!!
>If you go and buy Saab's own turbo-oil, it's a 0W-40.
They have a turbo-oil, rated at that spec!
>I didn't know that, nor do I know anything at all about Saab's new oil.
>Do you live in the U.S.?
I live in Denmark, Europe.
Finally, the recommandations from Saabs Chief engineer/After Sales recommends using Mobil 1 5W-50 and/or Saab's own turbo-oil!
To know more about oil, see the link beneath, esspecially the very first sentence after the table!!!
Cheers!
