Engine oil
Checking the oil level
Check the engine oil level regularly.
1 Park the car on a level ground.
2 Switch off the engine and wait for
2–5 minutes. The engine should be at
normal operating temperature.
3 Take the dipstick out and wipe it off with
a clean rag before carrying out the
check.
The level must not be below the MIN mark
on the dipstick, but nor should it be above
the MAX mark. Excess engine oil could
result in abnormal oil consumption.
The distance between the MIN and MAX
marks is equivalent to 1.0 qt (1.0 l).
Saab 9-3 Aero: The engine oil level is
checked each time the engine is started. If
the oil level is low, the following message
appears on the SID:
Recommended oil grade, see page 270.
Make sure you screw on the oil filler cap
properly after topping up the oil to avoid run-
ning problems.
It is normal for an engine to consume a cer-
tain amount of oil. It is therefore often nec-
essary to top up the oil between services.
Check the engine oil level regularly.
During the Break-in Period (approx.
3,000 miles or 5,000 km) and when driving
at high speeds or with a trailer, the oil
consumption may be higher than normal.
NOTICE
Too high oil level can damage the engine.
Low engine oil level.
Fill oil now.
NOTICE
Change of engine oil and oil filter may be
required more frequently if the car is
being used under certain conditions, see
page 263.
