For 1/2 the cost of Mobil 1, that's a good cost/performance ratio. Whether or not you decide to use it depends on: 1) your length of oil change intervals, & 2) your comfort level. If you're changing at something less than 10k miles anyway, then the 5W-40 Rotella is definitely the way to go. It's designed for extended drains in turbo diesel engines, so shorter-than-diesel intervals seem right for the heavier beating our Saab turbos dish out. And don't forget, Saab's OE oil formulations are diesel-style too. Comfort level's a tougher call. I won't hesitate to run the 5W-40 Rotella for 10k miles (or more) in my N/A C900, but I'll only run ACEA A3 rated Mobil 1 oils that long in my turbo 9³.
