Subject: Re: 9000 what oil?
=================
Saabs are delivered with synthetic oil (my understanding is that it is Mobil
one re-labled as Saab Oil (in thier parts dept.)  I also understand that you
void any remaining warranty if you do NOT use sythetic oil of the recommended
viscosity.
 
It's not the motor as much as it's for the turbo -- use synthetic.  Mobil 1
0W40 for imports.
 
The turbo runs extremely hot and the SynOil does a superior job of not
coking when the hot engine/turbo is shut off.  The added lubrication afforded
by the SynOil certainly won't harm the engine either.
 
I buy the oil 5 qts at a time at Pep Boys or Auto Zone for about $3.75 qt.,
then grab the high-end Fram filter.  Due to all the hassles of used oil
disposal, etc.  I pay a nearby oil quick change place $12 to do the dirty
work (while I watch/supervise!).  Grand total for an oil and filter change,
using the best sythetic, runs about $35 total this way.  Because it's
synthetic, I change it every 5,000 or 6,000Êmiles instead of 3,000 -
4,000Êwhen using regular oil -- so it nets out to about the same $$ over
time, with the added insurance of the synthetic oil.
