There's turbo oil and then there's turbo oil...

Hi ls (all)!
The 5W-30 Turbo oil is what Saab used to put in their cars! Today they use the "High Performance Turbo Oil", as shown in the picture beneath.
Just today I revieved a reply from the Saab Aftermarket Chief tech., to my question which oil Saab uses from the factory and as an "original Saab oil". Of course he wouldn't commend on the brand (know it used to be Sheel back in the 80's). But from what I can see on the cans and the viscosity, then it must be the Mobil 1 fully synth!!!
What he DID tell me however is this: "Today all Saab's are filled with a fully synthetic oil when they leave the factory - same as you can buy - Saab turbo oil 0W-40".
VERY, VERY interesting ay guys!!!???
Cheers!
