GM bashing off center?...no, never! :-)
If GM/Saab wants to cut costs, they pressure the suppliers to cut their costs, with the result that the turbos MIGHT be of lower quality in assembly and/or materials. We bought the car a year ago with 17,000 miles and in it's 28000 mile life so far it's had at least 5 oil changes using semi-syn oil, which should be quite satisfactory. It's seldom driven on trips less then 10-15 miles. I don't feel "oiling" is the problem. The SPG I mentioned in my first post always had "real" oil in it, not semi or full synthetic. It was also bought used with 50,000 miles on it.
