I think John D is right on. I have owned SAABs for 15 years, and having talked to numerous techs and SAAB lovers, I have heard one consistent and standard refrain..change the oil frequently. With regular oil changes, the engines last for a long, long time. At least mine have, as have others I have known.
Regarding dumping used fossil fuel derivatives on our planet....Mike Lynch is right on the sentiment. We should minimize our impact, and would be foolhardy to be overly obsessive about this. But, with regards to cost, I can say that if you buy your oil at some cheap department store or locallly-owned shop, you can still have the SAAB tech oil change done for about 28 bucks, not including the cost of the oil. I just had it done on my 04 Arc this week.
