For optimum performance Saab
recommends:_________________

* If AON 90 is used some decrease in engine power can occur.
Gasoline with a lower octane rating can be used, although not
lower than AON 87. However, engine performance will fall slightly
and heavy loading and laboring should be avoided. For optimum
performance, use the recommended grade of fuel.

261 Specifications
Engine oil To meet demands in Saab's extended service intervals all
engines are filled with specially designed synthetic factory fill
oils. Long service intervals, fuel economy and environmental
issues are the base for our choice of oil. By using oils approved
by Saab you minimise the tendencies for oil sludge build, by that
protecting the engine from harmful, wear increasing, deposits.Approved engine oils:All gasoline engines - Fully synthetic engine oil - approved
against the GM-LL-A025 specification - with viscosity
SAE 0W-30 or SAE 0W-40.
Oil used at, or in-between, service must be approved against the
engine´s specified classification to render possible the usage of
Saab Automobile AB specified service intervals.
For optimum performance Saab recommends the use of Saab
Long Life Turbo Oil 0W-30 or Mobil 1 0W-40 European Car for-
mula, but other oils approved against the above specification
and with proper SAE viscosity 0W-30 or 0W-40 may also be
used.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 assortment.
Other oil companies also offer engine oils approved against GM
specifications. Oils meeting these standards may be marketed
as synthetic. However, not all synthetic engine oils will meet your
engine´s specific requirements. Please ensure only to use oils
approved against your engine´s specific requirements, i.e.
GM-LL-A025 with viscosity SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40.
Recommended oil viscosityViscosity is a measurement of the oil´s thickness at various tem-
peratures, according to the SAE standard. This thickness influ-
ences e.g. fuel economy and cold starting properties. For
optimum performance Saab recommends:
For gasoline engines:
SAE 0W-30
or
SAE 0W-40 engine oilExtra engine oil additivesDon't add anything to your oil. The recommended oils are all you
will need for good engine performance and protection.
