Auto-Rx the engine & tranny, then use synthetics

For Saab turbo engines, I believe the best oil is Mobil 1 15W-50. My 10k mi change intervals take at least a year to go thru & that means the same oil sees lows around 0°F & highs around 100°F. (I live in Northern Colorado). Because of this range of temps, I've elected to use M1 5W-40 in our turbo ('99 9³) & M1 0W-40 (or maybe M1 5W-40) in our two NA C900s. Anything comparable from Amsoil would also be a good choice. You can do a search & find some info on my extended A-Rx engine apps.
As for the tranny, I'd do the same thing I did to mine all over again. For more input on tranny OCD, search for Alex C's tranny posts too.
