Does anyone know of an oil that's semi-sythetic and meets ACEA A3/B3. Even something that's been discontinued, anything at all.

My SAAB 9-5 Aero B235R engine 80736 miles Not a trace of sludge, I'm happy, though it's almost time for an oil change as it's nearing 4000 miles. I was also happy to see all the reciprocating parts to be in excellent condition as I drive the car very hard.

I'm looking for an oil to replace my beloved M1 5W-40 T&SUV. Searched around today for the new M1 Turbo Diesel Truck but came up empty handed. I even went to Walmart (really don't like their business practices and the one near me is very...white trashy). While I was in Walmart I spied Shell...

I'm wondering if there is any reason, be it emissions, fuel economy, or whatever, that an auto manufacturer would recommend a hotter plug than is ideal for performance. Here's my case, I have a Saab 9-5 aero and on the recommendation of other saab owners I tried a plug that is one heat range...

I have a 14 hp lawn mower and I've been pondering what to do when I put it away for the season? It gets an oil change once a year and I'm using a box of old mobil SJ 5W-30 in it. I'm wondering if it would be better to change to oil at the end of the season so good oil was sitting in it during...

I have a 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero that has a faulty temp sensor. I've decided to change the temp sensor and t'stat to cure it's problem. While I'm at it, I'm going to change the coolant and all the rad hoses so I don't have to worry about anything coolant related for another 70K. I need a suggestion...

Well like the title says, why is euro oil better? Why do you guys crawl over broken glass for your GC? I've always used Mobil 1 myself, never had a reason to change. I've also got a european car, a Saab 9-5 aero. Is there any reason I should use 0W-40 (as euro an oil as Mobil 1 makes) as opposed...

How does one go about installing one of these gauges? Do I just drill a hole in the oil pan and bolt it in there? Is there an easier way? I really have no idea what I'm about to do.

I learned this trick working in a garage over the summer. Makes the filter so easy to take off. However, I've recently noticed a little oil on the bottom of my saabs filter and spray back on the oil pan. Is this a big no no, have I been stupid once again?

Ingredients Oversized oil filter 5 quart jug of 5W-40 1 quart of 5W-30 10 lbs of kitty litter Mix well with stupidity and you’re done. Ok, so here’s the story. I’ve always wondered why people always seem to use genuine Saab filters. In fact it kinda bugged me as the faith seemed some what...

I have a 2001 saab 9-5 aero, and I've been using 30 weight oil for a couple years now, Mobil 1 5W and recently 0W. I've been starting to wonder if 30 is really enough for my driving habits as I do mostly suburbian driving and I like to get my oil heater, aka turbo, spinning. My car is underrated...

I have a Saab 9-5 aero which I love dearly and want to keep for many miles. So naturally I'm using Mobil 1 0W-30, thinking of switching to 0W-40 as the turbo can really heat things up. However the topic of oil filters comes up over on the saabcentral forums, the answer is always the genuine saab...
