In the intervening time the local price of Total Quartz Energy 9000 5W/40 has nearly doubled while the local prices of the Shell and Mobil-1 choices has remained fairly stable. Now I mostly run Shell Rotella-T in my newer Saab 9-5 and the Saab Viggen.

I alslo tested it in my LPT SAAB 9-5 engine - based on recommendation by Roger, my old friend from saabcentral. It's one the cheapest 'synthetic' oil here in the EU.
