Shell Rotella T6 5w-40
HI,
I wanted to try the shell Rotella oil for my next oil change since a lot of Saab people have praised it, especially for the 9-5. I bought a gallon jug today and noticed there is no SN spec on the back. Just want to make sure I'ts safe for my gas engine.

If you Google Shell Rotella T6 it come up as a Diesel oil https://rotella.shell.com/en_us/products/full-synthetic-and-blend-oil/shell-rotella-t6-15w-40-full-synthetic-motor-oil.html .
Thus, to answer your question, NO it probably isn't safe for your petrol engine.

You should use what is called for. Mobil I 0-40 Euro Blend. The 0 really isn’t for you engine, but rather for the turbo.
