I know you've heard me say this before, but some folks here may not have. I think the original Saab OE 5W-30 "Semi Synthetic" was probably pretty good oil. It was dual rated (for both gasoline & diesel engines) & ACEA A3 rated (for superior high Temperature/High Shear (HT/HS) turbo protection). By contrast, the current Saab OE 5W-30 "Synthetic Blend" oil is only gasoline rated (weaker additive package) & ACEA A1 rated (the weakest HT/HS protection).
Have you had the chance to follow up on any of the engines you've been using Delo in? I'm curious how the insides of these engines look after 40k-60k miles. I think this (& Delvac 1300 Super) is comparable in quality & protection to the original Saab OE "Semi-Syn".
