extending the change interval with synthetic oil(or even semisynthetic)- do you have data to support that? please point me to it as i am trying to wade through this and seperate out fact from opinion to help me maintain my car which i truly enjoy(but lust for an aero) while not being wasteful.this reminds me of the evolution of recommendations in medical practice - class A based on evidence of rigorous double blinded studies, class b evidence from a comparison study, class c based on "expert opinion" class d no data or conflicting data. these days "c " recommendations when examined frequently are found to be incorrect or without significant demonstrable benefit for the cost.these class "C " recs fall by the wayside. so do we have class a or c recommendations for oil change intervals?. if you have a conspiracy bent can we extend the neglect saab is heaping on the engines of its owners to other manufacturer's which have extended oil change intervals (including BMW with 15K synth intervals ) they must have done some research before implementing. I don't get "nines" but would like to read the article can you post it- or send me info for subscription.
