Yes, I remember reading that. I guess Subaru lacks production to build them in-house.

Otherwise, trapped oil in the turbo bearing area (hi-heat) may "coke" and shorten the bearing life...(not as crucial with water-cooled turbo systems, but still worth consideration).
Also, oil changes at shorter intervals are highly suggested, particularly if you often "drive it like you stole it..."

Thanks for the input. Not looking to hot-rod in the thing, I just think SAAB is an excellent luxary buy for the price. They depreciate so quickly, but they are very sturdy cars.
I know I should probably find a SAAB forum, but most of them are foreign and camaro5 has always been a great place to me in the past. (I have barely even gotten any hate here for owning a Rustang)
