Latest report for my 2001 SAAB 9-5 (2.3L 4cyl Light Pressure Turbo):
Curiously Phos/Zinc have identical values - Blackstone typo/error?
Car has a slight oil leak that may have contributed to the additional consumptoin. Also, leak seems to be from the headgasket so I need to monitor anti-freeze closely ... so far so good!
Either way, it seems the new M1 TDT (with supersyn) is as good a fit for this engine as the previous iteration. I'll keep posting these as there are not all that many SAAB reports on the board.
