This is as recommended for the UK by the owner's manual and the Haynes manual. It is also what is written on the side of the oil can. As far as I remember it is designed for operation between -10 deg. C, and 25 deg. C (23 deg. F to 77 deg. F) a wide temperature range that means it is usable all year round. As a quick note to Ken Washington, the guy who keeps going on about adding Militec-1 to your oil: You said if I wanted to risk a 6,000 mile interval between oil and filter changes, that was up to me. Well, 6,000 miles is the recommended service interval for my car, and also for your 1987 SAAB 9000S as well (SAAB currently recommend 12,000 intervals). If you want to waste money changing the oil twice as often as necessary THAT is up to YOU -- from Dave :-) <davidnopsam-ME-NOTbootsorion.demon.co.uk> Make obvious correction to reply He who dies with the most toys... wins!
