Subject: Re: best oil for 900 Turbo 16S


I own a 1991 900T16 since october 1998 here in Quebec. I use Agip 5W30 racing for months and I change it every 10000km. My SAAB has run today 133908km and working perfectly (still strong torque and low gas consumption). There is no visible leak on the block or close to the cylinder head. I of course loose a bit of oil but it is negligeable : I fill up with my new oil close to the max and I drop to the min at the end of my 10000km period, not more. The price of this very good oil is only 29CAN$ for 5 liters in Montréal,Qc... which is approx £12. If you have got a really high mileage, try Metal5 with your next oil, it helps !
