I'm new to this forum and was brought here by an oil question. Here are the basics:
1. 2003 Saab 9-5 4 cylinder turbo
2. Syn blend or full syn 5w-30. (0w-40 is recommended for towing and high strain applications in parts of the world). API SM. 5-7k recommended intervals. (I change every 3k regardless of need)
3. Kansas, USA
4. Mixed highway and city. Definitely "spirited" driving style
5. Daily drive is usually short. 5 miles or less in suburban conditions
6. A few small oil leaks.. but nothing big enough to be noticeable.
The dealer put in Valvoline syn blend from new till 75k when I blew a turbo, since then I've had nothing but Mobil1 full syn 5w-30.
I've been told that Motul ESTER based oils leave Mobil and AMSoil in the dust... true?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
