However, the general recommendation is for X-30 (where X=0,5, or 10) synthetic in most applications. Some use X-40, mostly in hotter areas or with modified engines. Mobil 1 15w-50 is a bit thick for the Saab engine, but should work OK in very warm climates. Mobil 1 0W-40 is available with a little searching.
I would say that any good synthetic X-30 or X-40 whould be adequate for your needs unless you are an area with a constant temperature greater than 60F(15C) or towing a trailer, then the 15w-50 would work well.
