Oil recommendation:
We recommend the use of oils that are available from your
Saab dealer, for regular oil changes. These oils fulfill the most
stringent requirements set by API and ACEA classifications.
Basic recommendations for Saab engines
• SAE 5W-30 or 0W-30, 5W-40.
The oil should be semi or fully synthetic and fulfill grade re-
quirements for ACEA A3/B3, API SJ or higher. In addition to API
and ACEA the ILSAC GF-3 specification is approved for use in
applicable markets.
Fully synthetic oils with viscosity’s 0W-40/50 of well known
brands and fulfilling minimum ACEA A3/B3 are also recom-
mended, especially for extreme driving conditions.
