-the engines have not changed
-oils have changed
-oil specs for newer vehciles reflect the use of oils that are suitable for longer change intervals
-not everyone agrees that these longer intervals are in your interests
-Saab USA had a marketing agreement with Mobil One to specify, recommend and use Mobil One engine oils
A W40 will protect your engine better than a W30. A full synthetic [0|5]W40 oil will not cause any significant increase in fuel consumption compared to a xW30. In some cases, fuel ecomomy can increase.
You can use M1 0W40 with a 2004+ vehicles. M1 5W40 will work well for older vehciles but is not the -official spec- for the 2004+ vehicles.
