Personally I don't see the reasoning in going with a higher viscosity because of higher ambient temperature, as the your engine still runs at the same temp anyway. I would only change viscosity in cold temps, going for a 0 or 5w synthetic. I run 5w-40 myself as a compromise so im being a little bit of a hypocrite. Thing is that saabers don't really worry about film strength so much as they do oil pressure.. which on t9's can be lacking. Oil pressure really isn't what we need anyway, its just a means of approximating flow. So if a higher viscosity boosts your oil pressure because itdoesnt flow as well, have you really accomplished anything?
