Lots of interesting and potentially misleading information out there about a supposed 'low oil pressure" problem using a 30W oil. The owners manual for my 2000 9-3 SE vert recommends 10W-30 or 10W-40 (Dino oil grades) OR semi or fully synthetic 5W-30 that meets ACEA A3/B3 requirements. It also says that a 0W-40 or 0W-50 weight oil may be used if it is fully synthetic. Virtually every 5W-30 synthetic oil sold today meets ACEA specification A5/B5 which exceeds the A3/B3 requirement. Unless you're racing the car any 5W-30 synthetic oil is just fine for your car.
