We reviewed an SAE paper by Delphi describing the performance of their oil life sensor (not the one in Saab 9-3SS - the one that actually measures the oil). It shows *conventional* oil to be "as good as new" at 5,000 miles, and useable through 12,000 miles. Shows either a) the above referenced study is bogus, or 2) synthetic oil isn't that much longer lived, but rather is recommended b/c it provides better lubrication (higher HTHS viscosity and lower cold cranking and pumping viscosity).
