Take the API's advice Posted by sam96CS [Email] (#852) [Profile/Gallery] (more from sam96CS) on Sat, 14 Feb 2015 04:45:08 In Reply to: Re: Ideal Engine Oil, Roger D [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:42:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Check out the article by the PQIA who claim to be consumer watchdogs. Disregard in the article the hype about SN oil. The information relevant to Saab 9000 owners is the chart at the bottom of the page and what the PQIA advises in bold print directly above the chart.
"Always consult your vehicle owner's manual to determine what motor oil you should use, and READ THE LABELS ON THE OIL YOU BUY." (their use of all caps, not mine).
My B234 engine was designed about 25 years ago when SG was the current standard. My '96 owner's manual specifies SH. I would be surprised to see a used oil analysis of an SN oil in the B234 that outperforms an SH oil under comparable conditions.
