Viscosity:

The viscosity of oil is classified according to the SAE standard. Nowadays, multigrade oils are always used in cars. The proper- ties 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 temperatures. Multigrade oils are graded with two viscosities, e.g. 10W-30, where the 10W meets certain viscosity requirements at -4°F (-20°C), while the 30 fulfills requirements at a temperature of 212°F (100°C). Basic recommendations for Saab engines: (cid:127) SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40. The oil should be semi or fully synthetic and fulfil the grade requirements for ACEA A3/B3 or API SJ. 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.

Oil capacity incl. filter (on changing):

4-cylinder ________________________ 4.1 qts (4.0 litres) 3.0t V6 __________________________ 4.6 qts (4.5 litres)

Engine oil Oil specification:

We recommend the use of oils that are available from your Saab dealer, for the regular oil changes. These oils fulfill the most stringent requirements set by API and ACEA classifications. Oil for gasoline engines is classified by the API standards (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 phosphorous level. 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. The diesel class B also has a fourth grade, B4, which encompasses tests and regulations aimed at improving the performance of direct injec- tion engines. 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/B4. 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: (cid:127) API SH/CD/CF or SJ/CD/CF. (cid:127) ACEA A3/B3/B4. These oils contain the additives required for the engine to function well. We advise against the use of further addi- tives.
