Hello Everyone,
I come from forums Saab central& Saablink mainly US based) and everyone speaks highly of this site. My problem is because I'm talking to guys in the US, the brands they recommend are not avaliable in Australia (or are very hard to find and expensive).
The main oil recommended is Rotella T6 5w40.Also 30 weight oil is to thin for our pumps at idile.
A quick background on the car,
My model (94-97 ng900)has been known to have a sludge promblem,but not as bad as the next model (98-03).
I have recently changed the head gasket and found my engine to be in exellent condition.
The run down,
Car: 97 Saab 900 2.0 turbo(stage 3)270hp (approx)
Specs:API service SG or CCMC G4 or G5
Australia Sydney NSW (Average Climate)never snows,Mainly warm
Driving style: Spirited
Daily Drive: 30 mins to work and 50 mins back (Traffic)
Known promblems: Possible sludge
Preference: Full Syn(40weight) at a reasonable price (like Rotella)
Cheers Greg
