Synthetic blending

[eztoy]

I have a Saab 9.3 2004 and the manual calls for 0W30 fully synthetic oil. This is not the easiest oil to find but 0W20 and 0W40 seem to be readily available. Question - can I mix equal portions of these 2 to replicate 0W30? might be a dumb question. Or do you think I could use OW40 without any issues?

Im a Saab tech and they do list a few different weights of oil for their vehicles. But the oil they endorse is the Mobil 1 0w-40. I can assure you that you will have no issues with this oil if you follow the oil percentage life on the SID, which typically is 8 - 12thousand miles.

I would say the (M1) 0W-40 would be the way to go

OK thanks

Amsoil makes a very good 0w30 full synthetic, thay call it SSO.

In fact, I think it's their premium product, IIRC.

Do you have a Walmart nearby? It seems every Walmart I see sells 5qt jugs of Mobil 1 0w30.

Yes - thanks I'll try there
