9000 what oil? [saabnow]

Subject: 9000 what oil? ================= Hi,
Watching the debate about oils I can see that I lost the plot with my oil changes. In my 900s I used to change the oil every 3-4k miles. With my current (1997) 9000 2.0 LPT the service manager at the dealer is insistent that I would waste my money by changing the oil more often than 12 months or 12k miles.
OK any recommendations for oils available in the UK (Castrol from Halfords, any other makes available easily and recommended?) Am I correct that I would be looking (as per manufacturers spec) for a 10-40, is that semi-synthetic or mineral?
Oil change coming tomorrow :-) ==============
On a different note ... my dealer (Eastern Western SAAB Edinburgh Scotland) recommends and does as part of the service besides SAAB spec an engine flush with every oil change. Perhaps the sludge problems that were reported in the other messages have showed up in the UK too. They started recommending flushing to customers around year 2000 ... (they did not do flushes when I bought the car from them in 1999).
TIA Charles
