Just a "thank you" to all you Saab owners who offered such good advice/guidance on my oil change question.
I've always owned Japanese cars (Infiniti, Toyota), that just run and run, and I never gave these oil change issues a second thought.
I'd just use regular oil and change it every 4,000 to 7,500 miles, and keep the cars, with their original engines, for 150-, 175- thousand miles, or more.
I love this Saab, but the engineering is new to me, and I want it to last, while not being foolish with excessive oil changes.
(It does seem, based on responses, that the oil change intervals are really very "personal" issues for owners.)
I live and drive in San Diego,almost exclusively on the freeways, in temperate weather all year round, with almost zero rush hour traffic and no dusty roads.
So I'm thinking 7,500 is a reasonable interval.
Thanks much again for your help.
Paul
