It was delivered Feb of 2002 and is a 9-5 Linear (2.3 LPT). I settled on the Amsoil euro after wading through a lot of posts on the BOB website (bob is the oil guy). You have to get past all the emotional oil posts until you find the guys with actual technical background. Seems for a 4 cylinder turbo like the Saab Amsoil Euro or Mobil 1 seemed the best. Something about the Amsoils higher sulphated ash content (possible better protection under severe conditions?)seemed to be the tipping point for me but I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on oil.
Goldberger post is good info and as I recall Saabs 2.3L engine was a state of the art low friction motor of the time reflecting improvements in manufacturing tolerances over say my old 1993 Jeep cast iron 2.5L which would be just as happy with castor oil as a lubricant.
