Maintenance and owner assistance

244
Maintenance schedule The Maintenance Schedule prescribes a service program to the purchaser/operator of a Saab that is reasonable and necessary to ensure the proper emission control sys- tems function, safety and reliability of the Saab automobile in normal use. Additional maintenance is recommended for specific components when the car is operated under certain severe conditions. Proper mainte- nance is always good advice! Authorized Saab dealers are equipped and trained to meet your Saab’s service needs. They regularly receive up-to-date Saab ser- vice manuals and parts and technical ser- vice bulletins from Saab and are able, through their franchise agreement, to attend Saab service schools, obtain Saab special tools and technical assistance and pur- chase original equipment service and replacement parts. Today’s complex automobiles should only be entrusted to the most knowledgeable service professionals. A Saab dealer is your best choice.

Service intervals The maintenance schedule is comprised of a Check -up 30 days after retail delivery, fol- lowed by services at every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) thereafter (10,000, 20,000, 30,000 miles/16,000 32,000, 48,000 km etc.).

NOTE

The Check-up will be done by your Saab dealer at no charge and should be done as close as possible to the scheduled 30 days.

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 Specifi- cation section of this Owner’s Manual. The use of extra additives in the oil is not neces- sary and is not recommended, and may be harmful to turbochargers. More frequent oil changes are recom- mended if your vehicle is operated under the following conditions: (cid:127) Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to

16 km). This is particularly important when outside temperatures are below freezing.

(cid:127) Most trips include extensive idling (such

as frequent stop-and-go driving).

(cid:127) Most trips are through dusty areas. (cid:127) You frequently tow a trailer or use a car-

rier on top of your vehicle. If the vehicle is used for delivery service, police, taxi or other commercial applica- tions.

If your driving habits match this description, have the engine oil and filter changed in- between normal services at 5,000 mile (8,000 km) intervals. The Warranties and Service Record Booklet has provisions to record extra oil changes.

(cid:127) Service record retention Service instruction coupons and record stubs are provided in the Saab Warranties and Service Record Booklet which accom- panies this Owner’s Manual. The coupons are arranged in the order that normal ser- vice should be performed. The edge of each coupon is shaded to correspond to the type of service point: (cid:127) Striped - "Check Up" (cid:127) Blue - Oil change/inspection service (cid:127) Black - Major service Note that in Canada a combined service and warranty book is used, but not service coupons. When scheduled services are performed, your dealer will tear out the applicable coupon and use it to check off the opera- tions performed and enter it into the service file at the dealership. The servicing dealer’s stamp, along with the date and mileage at which the service was done, should be entered on the corresponding stub which remains in your booklet. The booklet is your permanent record of the services per- formed. It also includes a log sheet for unscheduled repairs. It is advisable to retain receipts and, if pos- sible, copies of shop work orders for all ser- vice and repair work, wherever performed.

Service costs Dealer pricing practices and labor for ser- vice work vary. Saab’s recommended ser- vice times for each service point do not include the labor required to replace wear items, such as wiper blades, brake pads or tires. Nor is labor to perform other service or repairs found to be necessary as a result of the inspections included in these times. Additional labor and parts will be charged for such work when necessary, except as covered under an applicable Saab warranty or any optional extended service contract. Transmission fluid changes or suspension alignment, when necessary, are also addi- tional. Dealer charges for general shop material, regulated hazardous waste removal, recy- cling expenses or other operation costs may also be applied to service and repair invoices and are apt to vary by dealer and locality.

Engine oil 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 require- ments for ACEA A3/B3, API SJ or higher. In addition to API and ACEA the ILSAC GF-3 specification is approved for use in appli- cable 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.

Specifications

251

Oil specification.

Oil for gasoline engines is classified by the API (American Petro- leum Institute) and ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Associations) standards. API classifies engine oil into grade classes SH (since 1993) and SJ (since 1996). The SJ class fulfils more stringent requirements and has lower phosphorous level. A new grade API SL, intro- duced 2001, fulfils even higher requirements. These grade classes are most often combined with correspond- ing classes for diesel engines. The class designations for diesel engines begins with the letter "C" (Commercial). For example a grade combination suitable for both types of engine could be API SH/CD, SJ/CF or SL/CF. Under the ACEA nomenclature, oils are divided into Class A for gasoline engines and Class B for diesel engine passenger cars. There is a further class for heavy diesel engines. Each class is divided into grades: 1,2 and 3 where grades 2 and 3 normally encompass semi- and fully synthetic oils. The diesel class also has a fourth grade, B4, which encompasses tests and regula- tions aimed at improving the performance of direct injection die- sel 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.

252

Specifications

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 al moving parts under high pressures and with high outside air temperatures. Multigrade oils are graded with two viscosity’s, e.g. 5W-30, where 5W meets certain viscosity requirements at -4°F (-20°C), while 30 fulfils requirements at 212°F (100°C).
