Engine oil

To meet demands in Saab's extended service intervals all en-

gines are filled with specially designed synthetic factory fill oils.

Long service intervals, fuel economy and environmental issues

are the base for our choice of oil. By using oils approved by

Saab you minimise the tendencies for oil sludge build, by that

protecting the engine from harmful, wear increasing, deposits.

Approved oils:

For all gasoline engines - fully synthetic engine oil - approved

against the GM-LL-A025 specification - with viscosity SAE 0W-

30 or 0W-40. To benefit from Saab´s specified service intervals,

pleasure ensure to select a fully synthetic engine oil approved

against GM-LL-A025.

For optimum performence Saab recommends the use of Saab

Long Life Turbo Oil 0W-30 or Mobil 1 0W-40 European Car For-

mula, but other fully synthetic oils approved against the above

specification and with proper SAE viscosity 0W-30 or 0W-40

may also be used.

Servicing/Oil changes:

To be able to use recommended service intervals the need to

use only approved engine oils is vital. Use only engine oils ap-

proved for your engine. Service should be done according to

the recommended service intervals to optimize your engine's

function through out its entire life. Saab Automobile AB will not

take responsibility for any damage that might occur due to ne-

glecting to meet above mentioned requirements.

At your Saab dealers you can find Saab Genuine or Mobil en-

gine oils. Among those there are oils specially designed to meet

your engines specific needs. We recommend that you, with the

help of our skilled service personnel, choose your oil from that

selection.

Other oil companies also offer engine oils approved against GM

specifications. Oils meeting these standards may be marked as

synthetic. However, not all synthetic engine oils will meet your

engines specific requirements. Please ensure only to use fully

synthetic oils approved against your engines specific require-

ments, i.e. GM-LL-A025 with viscosity SAE 0W-30 or SAE 0W-

40.

Recommended oil viscosities.

Viscosity is a measurement of the oil´s thickness at various

temperatures, according to the SAE standard. The thickness in-

fluences e.g. fuel economy and cold starting properties. For op-

timum performance Saab recommends:

For gasoline engines:

SAE 0W-30 or SAE 0W-40 engine oil.
