Actually I've rarely if ever ran the A3/B3 spec in my 1999 9-5 and it has the original Garret turbo and uses maybe a quart of oil between 7k mile changes, has 155k on it now.
Not about to change owing to your advice, I think my Saab likes me as it's overall been a very low maintenance machine and I do tend to be on the frugal side when it comes to care and feeding . That somewhat applies to oil, it has gotten mainly Mobil 1 but that may change soon, I'm Irish and hey oil with a name like O'reilly can be all bad.
But I've not changed my lawn mower oil in 2 yrs so your post did serve as a reminder, the lawn mower may have more value than the Saab, thanks for the reminder.
