2008 SAAB 9-5 fuel

263 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 minimize the tendencies for oil sludge build, by that
protecting the engine from harmful, wear increasing, deposits.
Approved engine oils:
For all gasoline engines - synthetic engine oil - approved against
the GM-LL-A-025 specification. To benefit from Saab´s speci-
fied service intervals, pleasure ensure to select a synthetic
engine oil approved against GM-LL-A-025.
For optimum performance Saab recommends the use of Saab
Long Life Turbo Oil SAE 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40.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 and GM 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 offer engine oils approved against GM
specifications. Oils meeting these standards may be marked as
synthetic. However, not all synthetic engine oils will meet your
engines specific requirements. Please ensure only to use syn-
thetic oils approved against your engines specific requirements,
i.e. GM-LL-A-025.
Extra engine oil additives
Don't add anything to your oil. The recommended oils are all you
will need for good engine performance and protection.
