Just bought and installed a Duralast Gold from Autozone last week for my '07 9-5. It has a little whine at 2500 RPM but works better than OEM. Has a lifetime warranty and it's 100% new too!
Mobil One 0w-40 is a great oil for these cars
I’m getting a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2 on my SAAB in a couple weeks
They’re higher rated in *every* category compared to the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06, which I’ve ran for the last few years.
I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.
I used to run kumho ecstas on my saabs and they were great all seasons. Handle well in the dry and safe in the snow. Best tires I've had at that price point and they were good enough that i wouldn't bother spending more.
I'm using a BGA kit with OEM tensioner. Deleted the balanceshafts. Is on a B204/B205 hybrid but great kit for B2X4, B2X5 engines!
The best oil to use is the RedLine full synthetic two-stroke Racing oil. Modern full synthetic two stroke oils are way better than older oils and work great.
Put new OEM springs matched with Bilstein B4 and they're a bit stiffer now. Awesome for cornering but definitely not as "lush" as they once were. Hopefully they settle a bit more.
I have a 2006 9-3 aero with the v6 and it is a little harsh but I have recently upgraded and gone for bilstein b8 kit with Vogtland lowering springs. I have to say the ride is nice and firm when needed and soft enough day to day.
Oem sachs if you want them to last for a good amount of years.
