From Wikipedia:
The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) also has standards for motor oil. Their latest standard, GF-4[3] was approved in 2004. A key test is the Sequence IIIG [4] , which involves running a 3.8L, GM 3.8L V-6 at 125 horsepower, 3600 rpm, and 150°C oil temperature for 100 hours. These are much more severe conditions than any passenger car would see: cars typically average a few dozen horsepower and 80°C. The IIIG test is about 50% more difficult [5] than the previous IIIF test, used in GF-3 and API SL oils. Engine oils bearing the API starburst symbol since 2005 are ILSAC GF-4 compliant
Saab requires GF-3 or better. Pennzoil and Valvoline are GF-4. So I guess that woulds satisfy the standards. BUT WHAT ADVANTAGE DOES 0W-30 PROVIDE OVER 5W30 IN NORMAL DRIVING?
