Me too---only I got them on sale at Target. I use 10W-30 Mobil 1 in my Saabs and will continue to do so. The issues mentioned in the manual( to me) seemed to discuss the 10W at -4 F and 30 W at 212 F for example. Oil class 101.
Mobil 1 10W-30 flows at over minus 50 F !!!! If its that cold outside where you live, do you REALLY plan to go out and drive your SAAB ??? Mobil 1 5W-30 flows at minus 54 F...... Both have/offer the same 30 W top end protection. You might realize slightly better mpg with 5W. But that is not a guarantee.
My sense of this was the cleanliness of semi and full synthetics over dino products.
It was more of a FYI post as this BB is asked regularly about "which oil for my Saab?"
My 1999 9-3 HOT and my 1998 NG 900 SE Turbo both spec 10W-30.
