The book also contains important warranty conditions. Engine oil and filter changes Changing the engine oil and filter is required at every service point. Use only a Saab approved long-life oil filter and engine oils meeting the SAE viscosity ratings and API service classifications stated in the Specification section of this Owner’s Manual.

More frequent oil changes are recommendedif your vehicle is operated under the following conditions: • Extensive idling • Stop-and-go driving • Driving in cold climates over repeated short trips without sufficient engine warm-up, see page 172. If your driving habits match this description, have the engine oil and filter changed inbetween normal services at 5,000 mile (8,000 km) intervals.
