M1 5w30 is a great option. So is Synpower with its low NOACK scores. PP 5w30 and QSUD 5w30 are also good options as they both meet HT-06 spec.

Having read some of the SAAB experiences regarding sludge I think sticking with a premium synthetic like the M1 5W-30 that your using or PP 5W-30 and a short OCI is the best approach.
You certainly don't need to use anything heavier for the way your car is operated since you won't be seeing excessively high oil temp's.
