The "oil monitor" on the 9-3SS is bogus. It doesn't actually measure oil quality, it's just a dummy counter until your next oil change. Saab customer service says it is based on how you drive the car (miles, cold starts, trip distance, etc.). I changed my oil at 3000, 6000, 9000, and 12000 miles and use Mobil1 0W-30 fully synthetic. I've never reset the service information and the "oil quality" reading hasnever gone up after a change. I'm now at 13500 and the SID says my oil quality is around 26%.
