As memory serves, my Saab owners manual says to use 20w50 for ambient temps over 70*F (this is a '99 2.3L I-4). I've been using Amsoil 20w50 racing oil in the summer for about 7 years now, with nothing but great results. The car runs better with Amsoil synthetic than the factory Saab semi-synthetic blends.
I'm pretty sure this leak was caused by my idiot Cadillac/erzatz Saab stealership -- either when they put an extra 2 quarts of motor oil (grease monkey must have read the oil capacity for the V6) or when they installed the oil sending unit, which up till then had not leaked at all. I guess they were carrying out some preventative maintenance! LOL
