Used liqui-moly 5w-40 on my last oil change. Pelican parts 5 liter jug.
It's $36 per jug.
Car runs fine. No hiccups. Will have it blackstoned in around 5k miles. See what happens.
Btw car has 23k original miles. MY2001 C4 coupe Tip

118k - M1 0-40. ~5-7k. DD. When I opened the engine @ 100k it looked brand new. When I change the oil it still looks golden. Will do oil test on next change.

3K oil changes are an urban myth.
not on our Saab, if you go over 3-5k the engine will sludge due to an inherent design flaw

100k and whatever I can find. I seriously doubt it matters as much as the pundits would have you believe.

113k miles, use 0w40 Mobil 1 every 5k miles.
Actually it's even less than that when I DE the car as I will change the oil after each event. Might be overkill but I just feel more comfortable removing the crap that might end up in the engine after tracking it.

Well so far, the M1 0w-40 seems to have proven itself worthy for our babies. Anyone else out there beat the 157k mark yet? Please post. Thank you.
