After a recommendation a couple years ago from our local, and trusted, Saab independent mechanic, we switched to Red Line full synthetic 5W30 for both our '99 and '04 9-5's. From what I've seen researching on the web, Red Line seems to have better specs than either Mobil 1 or Amsoil. I've been changing both cars at 5k intervals and using Saab filters. So far so good. The label on the bottle says it meets ACEA A5 and B5. The stuff isn't cheap at about $7.50/qt.
