Thanks for all the discussions on oil. Looks like I am the only one with a broken timing chain. At the time the timing chain broke I had 10-30 Pennzoi in and one of those Ultra Delco oil filters in. There was a nice study in the Nines book, North American Saab Club, about how well those oil filters are so I put one in. I don't think these were the problems, I think the oil passages were mostly blocked from the previous lengthy oil changes. I think the car was mostly driven in the Philadelphia, City, area before I purchased it. Anyway I perfer Pennsylvania oil as I think it has a paraffin base vrs. Texas asphalt base oil. The asphalt base oil seems to break down much sooner then the paraffin base. Any other comments, they also say the GTX is a good oil. Bob
