From the pictures you can see the light coating of black sludge, partial clogging of the screen and the pile of sludge that was below the screen in the pan.

Ye I know all too well. This is my 3rd Saab: Had a 1995 900SE, a 1998 900S and now the 2002 9-3SE. (I love these hatchbacks!) Pulling the valve cover and dropping the oil pan was one of the first things I did. Valve cover needed a new gasket anyways and saw some light sludge buildup around the...

It is gas rated. It has a 2.0l turbo motor.

I used Delo 400LE 5w40 on a previous Saab I had. I'm curious to compare the virgin sample report of the Delo 400LE synthetic 5w-40 to the Delo 400 Synthetic 0w-30. Both are acceptable weight grades granted the other specs might not meet. Tons of people run Rotella as well (I had before I used...

From the Product Data Sheet: "Delo® 400 Synthetic SAE 0W-30 is a mixed fleet motor oil recommended for naturally aspirated and turbocharged four-stroke diesel engines and fourstroke gasoline engines in which the API CG-4, CF-4 and CF service categories and SAE 0W-30 viscosity grade are recommended."

Here's the product description: http://www.chevronlubricants.com/en_US/products/products/delo-400-synthetic-sae-0w-30.html Here is the Safety Data Sheet: https://cglapps.chevron.com/sdspds/SDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=426838&docFormat=PDF

I know that this is a pretty rare oil, does anyone use it? I just bought a 5 gallon bucket of it (for a pretty reasonable price and got a free Snickers too! Ha!) I'm going to do a virgin oil sample and then use it in my 2002 Saab 9-3 (that has some light sludging due to previous owners.) My...

Salv nailed it right on the head! I'm running it in my LLV, Go-4 and my mom's 2000 Stratus (2.0L). Will be running it also in my Saab after this last run on my remaining 5w-40 synthetic is done.

I'm a fan of HDEO's and use the Delo in all my family's vehicles that 10w30 is acceptable in. The governor has definitely been changed on my Go-4, I drove it 50mph on my test drive and was surprised to see I was up to 70mph going down a hill on I-5... I'm using it as my daily commuter, so I...

If you don't know what a Go-4 Interceptor is, it's a 3-wheeled vehicle made by the Canadian company Westward Industries, that is used as a parking enforcement (Meter Maid) or security vehicle. Mine uses the 1.3l engine and 3-speed automatic transmission as a Ford Festiva (the 2 rear wheels are...

According to another article, it sounds like it's coming out in the 4th quarter of 2012, so it might not be out yet but soon.

First, here's a link to an article about the new 5w30: http://www.thetrucker.com/News/Stories/2...mprovement.aspx I'm currently running the 5w40 variety of Delo 400 LE in my Saab and seems to be doing well, but I have noticed a decrease in mpg over when I was using 10w30. Now that I also have...
