It is based on cracked dino oil molecules, so they get to call it synthetic rather than mineral. Real synthetics such a Silkene and millers are listed as high ester, or triple ester and are totally man made, not produced by manipulating mineral oils. It is not too much for a Saab. I think that Saab Turbo oil is actually specially blended Mobil one, for Saab. Halfords full synth may actually be a better oil than Mobil one. -- Carl Robson "Sorry Sir the meatballs are orf" (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
