Engine oil Oil specification:

Oil for gasoline engines is classified in accordance with the API standard (American Petroleum Institute) into the grade classes SH (since 1993) and SJ (since 1996). The SJ class fulfils more stringent requirements and has a lower level of phosphorous. These grade classes are most often combined with the corre- sponding classes for diesel engines. The class designations for diesel engines begin with the letter “C” (Commercial). For exam- ple, a grade combination suitable for both types of engine could be API SH/CD or SJ/CF. Under ACEA nomenclature, oils are divided into Class A for gas- oline engines and Class B for diesel-engined passenger cars. There is a further class for heavy diesel engines. Each class is divided into three grades: 1, 2 and 3, where grades 2 and 3 nor- mally encompass semi and fully-synthetic oils. In the same way as in the API system, gasoline and diesel engine specifications are combined for products that can be used in both types of engine. For example, a grade designation could be ACEA A2/B2 or ACEA A3/B3. To afford Saab engines the best protection with regard to lubri- cation, the ability to dissolve residues and the neutralization of combustion products, we recommend the following oil grades: API SH/CD/CF or SJ/CD/CF. ACEA A2/B2 or A3/B3. These oils contain the additives required for the engine to function well. We advise against the use of further addi- tives.

Viscosity:

The viscosity of oil is classified according to the SAE standard. Nowadays, multigrade oils are always used in car engines. The properties of these oils facilitate starting the car in cold weather but mean that the oil is also viscous enough to coat all moving parts under high pressures and with high outside air tempera- tures. Multigrade oils are graded with two viscosities, e.g. 10W-30, where the 10W meets certain viscosity requirements at -20°C, while the 30 fulfils requirements at a temperature of 100°C. Basic recommendations for Saab engines: (cid:127) SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40. SAE 5W-30 can also be recommended but in which case the oil must be semi of fully-synthetic and fulfil ACEA grade require- ments A3/B3. Oils which are less viscous, such as 0W/-40/50 are becoming more common and may be used. However, the oil must be fully-synthetic, of a well known brand, and fulfil ACEA grade requirements A3/B3. This viscosity makes starting in cold weather easier.

Afterheater, V6-engine cars The afterheater enables a comfortable temperature to be main- tained inside the car even after the engine has been switched off. The heater can be activated up to 10 minutes after the engine has stopped, although the coolant temperature must be at least 40°C for the heater to operate. To start the heater: 1 The ignition should be OFF. 2 Press and hold the AUTO button on the ACC panel for about a second, until a chime is sounded and the following appears on the SID: ”AFTERHEATER ACTIVATED”.

The following settings will be in force when the heater is running: (cid:127) Air distribution in AUTO mode. (cid:127) Recirculation not active but can be selected manually. (cid:127) Fan speed is automatic and cannot be changed. (cid:127) Only the fan speed is shown on the display. If AUTO is pressed,

the system selections will be indicated.

The following controls do not operate while the afterheater is on: (cid:127) Rear-window heating. (cid:127) ECON. (cid:127) User presets. Some of the functions can be reprogrammed. For further informa- tion, please consult your Saab dealer (see page 237).

After five seconds, the SID will indicate how much heat is available (0 – 100%).

To switch off the heater: 1 Press the OFF button on the ACC panel. The heater will also be switched off if the ignition is turned ON.
