car is a 97 9000 aero.
For years my dad has been using castrol GTX non synthetic oil...and in fact over his saab career has run up over a million miles on this oil. My mom has an 02 9-5 linear wagon which according to the manual should only have full synthetic. So since all my buddies with turbo cars (although i know its not a good comparison to saabs) run Mobil 1 full synthetic (what im putting in the 9-5) and swear by it due to what they say is slower breakdown and better protection from the heat of a turbo motor. My dad is saying that im "stupid" and "silly" for believing that and that full synthetic isnt good and i shouldnt switch to it. Whats the verdict here? i dont see how his argument stands here...
