May I ask you to comment this local produced oil?

ACEA A3/B4-08
14.2 mm2/s kinematic viscosity @100C
hydrocracked synthetic oil
USD 27 per 4 qt

Forget it - it's a medium/low quality synthetic oil.
This the 'premium' quality synthetic oil - however doesn't look a real top quality one:

It's ok, not sure it meets the up to date specs for your engine though. On Autodata here in the UK it's recommending 0w30, 0w40, 5w30 or 5w40 GM-LL-A-025 oil which has now been superceded by Dexos 2 in Europe. MOL do make it but it's in their premium range.

Thx for these, riggaz!
I have the Haynes manual and it proposes 0W30 grade oil into my car, what's quite thin by the SAABers. I would like to take consideration the lifetime & value of my old car, so I look for some reasonable low price oil now. Currently, I found Valvoline Synpower at TESCO for EUR 7 per litre.
MOL is Hungarian oil company, but their oils are not so famous (no marketing in it?) at cars - probably at heavy duty engines. I'm afraid they don't buy any expensive additive package from the main 2-3 suppliers.

They will buy their add pack from Lubrizol or Oronite just like the rest of them bud.
