Servicing/Oil changes: To be able to use recommended service intervals the need to use only approved engine oils is vital. Use only engine oils approved for your engine. Service should be done according to the recommended service intervals to optimize your engine's function through out its entire life. Saab Automobile AB will not take responsibility for any damage that might occur due to neglecting to meet above mentioned requirements. At your Saab dealers you can find Saab Genuine or Mobil engine oils. Among those there are oils specially designed to meet your engines specific needs. We recommend that you, with the help of our skilled service personnel, choose your oil from that selection. Other oil companies also have engine oils approved according to GM specifications. Oils meeting these standards may be identified as synthetic. However, not all synthetic oils will meet your engines requirements. You should only use oil that meets your engines specific requirements (GM-LL-A-025). Cylinder bore_____ Stroke _____ Swept volume _____ Idling speed_____ Antifreeze _____ Coolant capacity _____
