Saab engineers walk on, just remember that when you examine engineers
individually, they're yahoos like me, Greg and bRad (SHUDDER).

Also, if nothing of significance changed between 2002 9-5 and 2003 9-5,
why would Saab recommendation suddenly change from semi-synthetic
5w-30 in 2002 to fully synthetic 0w-30. If they're right now, they were
less right before, and if they were less right before, they can be not
right again.

Let me tell you right now engineers are fallible.

Please don't kiss the ground trampled by the Saab engineer who chose
to design those plastic pulleys for serpentine belt on NG900 which are
guaranteed to fail at the most inopportune moment.

I guess this BB DOES talk a LOT about oil, but we happen to not have
anything else of significance to talk about except projectile bird poop
which scratches paint.

Given the choice between talking about bird poop and talking about
motor oil, I'll talk about MOTOR OIL every day and TWICE on Sunday!!!

:-)

thanks
