Outro song: • Mountkid - No Lullaby ...
A couple extra tricks I use myself.. I run the engine warm and then let it sit for let's say 30 minutes with the oil cap open. Helps the oil run out when its warm. And having the oil cap open while draining helps avoid a vacuum in the valve cover that's keeping all oil from running out. Often when doing an oil change you can notice if the cap wasn't open that when you open it, the oil starts running a bit again.
Good idea! Car was warm when i did this; suppose i should've mentioned that
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Lane Edward Instablaster :)
@Salvatore Colson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Salvatore Colson It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
I have been using Motul 5w40 motor oil for my 2010 Saab 9-3 Sportcombi Wagon 6speed Manual transmission vehicle. The oil works really well for me so far 👍.
Online I was recommended on Saab forums to use 5W-30 which is what I’ve been using on mine
Thats also What the Manual says, it needs dexos 2 certification. 👍
5W-30 will kill your engine, think about it, i recommed just like that:
- 5W40
- 0W40
- 5W50 (for more HP B207 engines)
5W-30 is really bad choice for this engine, promise
@@ukaszZachariasz Why. If the owner's manual recommends the 5W30, shouldn't there be any danger?
@@Joel..01 Many experiences show this oil (5w30) bad side. 5w40 will be better protection. Personally, I always advise against using 0W30 / 5W30 due to the thin oil film at high temperatures, especially with a heavy leg, lpg and higher moments.
@Archer Asa You’re right nobody gives a shit
Great video! It is easy to do on these cars. Love the oil filter location versus having oil run down your arm.
A bit of advice to SAAB owners: Ignore the Oil Change Indicator program on these cars. It can run that oil 8k to 15k miles, which is horrible on older cars that don't run as clean as a new one. Plus the turbo can really wreck the oil if not shut down properly after hard driving.
Best to figure on 3k-5k miles between changes depending on how dirty it looks.
Oil is cheaper than rings and bearings. :-)
Here is the simple math:
If you DIY with $40 oil changes over a 100k mile period, it will cost you:
$520 for 8k mile intervals.
$800 for 5k mile intervals.
$1333 for 3k mile intervals.
$800 invested in increased oil changes to likely triple the life of the internals.
$2000 - Cost of engine replacement with a junkyard motor installed by a local mechanic.
The math is simple. The cars are awesome, but getting more rare.
Yep! Better safe than sorry in my opinion, especially the higher mileage the car
Thanks. Very helpful. A side note: if your battery was disconnected during service, you need to set the date to be able to reset service counter. Found that out today
👍🏼👍🏼
Please make a transmission fluid and filter replacement thank you. I love your videos a lot btw, please do more mechanic and mod related on Saab’s it’s my first car and I want to take advantage of every last part
Did that a year or so ago so i won't be doing it for a while. There's probably more stuff on youtube though
@@AutoAutopsy there is not.
I use Genuine GM / Saab 5W-30 dexos2 oil, I dont know if that's available in US though
I’ve always used k&n oil filters with mobile one 5w30 🤷🏻♂️

- 5W40
- 0W40

@@ukaszZachariasz why?
@@ukaszZachariasz I live where it gets all the way down to -10°F in the winters, and it's what's recommended for almost every vehicle up here.
I pour in about 1/2 ltr of new oil into the engine and the hole where the filter goes before replacing drain plug. I find this helps to clear all the old oil.
I use 5w30 Mobil.
thanks for the idea; might have to try that next time
Thanks 4 the video. Had no idea where the hell the filter was. 👍 I purchased O'Reilly full synthetic high mileage 5w 30. Not sure if it's any good but we shall see.
Glad it helped!
You should mention that checking the oil level after the engine heats up should be done, and always better to drain when the engine is warm.
good tip
Motomaster sythetic 0w30 for the fall/winters and 5w30 for the spring/summers. I live in Toronto, Canada btw.
👍🏼
It depends on the climate you live in remember it’s very cold 🥶 in Sweden 🇸🇪 most other countries use 5 30 I can change mine more often with that as it’s less than half the price of 0 30
true!
i change my oil 3 times a year also with ceratec mix is amazing
The owner's manual for my 9-3 specifically calls for 0-30 or 0-40 Mobil 1 full synthetic. The five quart containers say Mobil 1 FS European car formula full synthetic.
Yep 5W-30 can also work too!
I used Shell Helix HX8 5W40 in mine, it’s Dexos2 approved.
I have 157,000 miles on mine, a rare factory Hirsch Stage 2 with 252hp and 380Nm.
nice
@@AutoAutopsy numerous electrical issues, central locking on drivers door doesn’t work correctly, alarm has a fault etc
I've just tried to get the sump plug off my 2008 saab and found it's probably never been off and stuck tight - most service garages in the UK vacuum the old oil out through the dip stick. Also there is a cross member/ sump guard on mine that prevents good access to the plug.
really? that's an odd way to do it
They suck out brake fluid that way, I have never heard of anyone doing the engine oil like that
I would mension that to change the filter we will need "low prifile 32mill socket" as mine older one is to long and dosent fit. Just in case if someone asks 😉
haha
Ever used an oil extractor on these?
K&N oil filter with Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 dexos Gen2 with SN-Plus rating.
I have a lot of training related to fuels and oils and the SN rating is important as it comes from the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the SN-Plus designation refers to it being meant for turbocharged engines. I would use 0W-40 however it doesn’t come with the SN-Plus rating so I go with the next best thing which is 5W-30
Thanks for the advice, John :)
SN-Plus is for newer technologies like start stop protection and more LSPI protection. As far as I know SN meets all the protection requirements for this engine and I wouldn't switch to 5w-30 just for SN-Plus.
I have been thinking about changing my oil on my 2010 9-3 myself for a while. Never knew the filter is accessed on top. Interesting that you seemed to remove the filter BEFORE draining the oil. I would have thought you would have oil leaking out all over the place doing it that way??
Yeah, could be done either way.
Smart! Thanks!!
I have a 2008 Saab 9-3 convertible 2.0T and the manual says 5W-30. O noticed you are using 0W-40? Why the difference
Depends on climate. I live in the desert and switch between the two weights depending on time of year
Bought some denso spark plugs about 15k miles ago. Acceleration was stuttering thought I sucked water in after a heavy rain. Ordered some laser NGKs at auto parts and boom like new. Just lucky it wasn’t my coilpacks
When a coil pack goes your engine will run like a motor mount is broken. All wobbly and shit. Copper spark plugs should be changed every oil change
Changing spark plugs with every oil change is a little excessive imo; glad you fixed your issue, Adrian
@@AutoAutopsy can you read? I said (Copper) spark plugs. And if you know anything about tuned turbos you will be using them.
I use Castrol Magna Tech 5W40 C3
Stick to Mobil 1 dude Castrol oil did not do good in oil performance testing
I just got a 2008 Saab Aero 2.8T do you have to use Euro oil? Online it suggests 5w-30 Full Synthetic from Mobil 1.
I have been using valvoline high mileage synthetic 5w 30
thanks for sharing
Hey man super grateful for your videos
I fixed our dashboard cupholder on our 2004 Saab 9-3 ARC 2.0t Convertible. Gonna replace the sideview mirror using your other one. I was wondering if you think Mobil 1 extended performance high mileage full synthetic 5W-30 will work instead of the euro formula 0W-40 your using in this video?
glad i can help you out. 5W-30 will work too. I will sometimes use that as well
I have 2003 Saab 9-3 and I think that I need to replace that bearings hub for the front do you know where I can get those parts online
esaabparts
Oil change is also new oil on the gearbox - too often forgotten. Saab recommands to use a new drain plugg to avoid leaking. Did the 32mm socket come out after you changed the oil filter??? ;-)) nice video!
You do not change transmission oil as often as engine oil.
@@alexstromberg7696 I change the oil in the gear box/transmission for every 20.000 km and always together with the engine oil. Also filters are changed too. That's a good policy to follow!
Yep! Trans fluid is important as well, but as Alex said, doesn’t need to be done nearly as often as engine oil. Did my trans fluid probably 10-15k ago
Thanks brother.
i just did the oil on my 07 i HATE these filters pain in the ass to get them out its actually been sitting because my 32 socket just slips for some damn reason so im gonna have to wait and get the time to pick another out and go back to it my 96 900 was a breeze to get out and change no issues im confused because thats the same 1/2 socket i used to change it before and POOF it slips good thing i have the 900 or the uh .. 09 dodge caravan to drive lmao
I think they're actually very easy, especially compared to my Miata I used to have.
Hi, Thanks sooooo much! Here in Switzerland, the services are very expansives, I'll get a lot a pleasure by doing it myself!
I've a 9-3 cabrio of 2007 and I really believe that I can give her a perfect second life. Just a question; What quantity is "Six quarts"?! in ml? I didn't know this expression...
Thanks for the answer...
i don't know that conversion but google could tell you
Good video. I plan to use Walmart full synthetic at $15 for 5 gallons just because Saab probably got a kickback from Mobil One. BMW does the same thing.
do you mean quarts? $15 for 5 gallons would be crazy!
@@AutoAutopsy yes, quarts of course. Sorry.
@@FamilytripsNevents no problem! wanted to make sure; if it were gallons, i'd be on my way there right now haha
@@AutoAutopsy just changed for first time since car purchased, ended up using Mobile 1 Euro, $27 for 5 quarts at our Walmart. Put in 6.3 quarts, hope I didn't overfill. 1 1/4" socket I already had fit the oil filter cover. I plan to change every 7,500 miles as somewhat easy to keep up with using odometer. Thanks for video.
Do you not need to change the crush washer on the drain plug?
not really. you can if you want tho!
Thanks!
Nice, I just did my '04 myself for the first time too. Can you advise what parts/joints etc should also be lubricated on the same saab? Thanks!!
The saab does not have any greasable suspension components like old cars used to. If you want to lubricate something just hit your door hinges with some white lithium grease for smooth and squeak free operation.
Flushing the brake fluid is a good and cheap thing to do too, your brakes hydraulic system will appreciate it.
Also use spray silicone on the window tracks...helps give the shitty regulators an easier time opening and closing the windows
I've always used 5w30 shell helix ultra professional ag dexos 2

@@ukaszZachariasz OK, I have run on the oil manual recommend and have worked great for all years.
On my Subarus I use Motul 5w40 exclusively I was planning on using the same for the my new 2002 Saab 9-5 2.3t. Do you recommend using 5w30 or going up to 5w40?
Either will probably work. I don’t know as much about the 9-5’s.
"Crack the oil pan or do anything stupid" THIS lol, this alone is why I change my own oil.
lol
If someone switched from say 5-30 engine oil to 0-40 do they need to do anything special like flush the engine?
no its fine, assuming your motor isn't sludged up or anything
Regarding time for service notification, am i going to be able to reset it to 100% again or I will need tech2 or something similar?
go into the settings on the sid and it can be reset
I use Amazon basic oil because of project farms comparison. It's a very cool video if you haven't seen it you should check it out.
thanks, will do
You using the 5w-30 or 0w-40?
Did you drive the car up onto 2x6s or something similar to get a little more room to work underneath?
yes, two 2x10's if i remember correctly.
I used Mobil 1 0w30 last time, the fuel efficiency one. No change in fuel efficiency so far. Going with Castrol Edge Euro 0w40 next time. Not a fan of the reformulated Mobil 1 0w40 Euro that is not the same formula as recommended by Saab.
Was just about to do my oils change for the first time
Get on it!
You always drain the oil before removing the filter to avoid an oil mess around the engine..
it comes out the top so it doesn't really matter much with this particular engine
Is it clockwise turn or anti-clockwise for the drain plug to unscrew?
righty tighty, lefty loosy - set the ratchet to that and go.
Great video. 👏👏👏🙏
What were the results of the paint/ or not paint/ and or wrap, for this car?
Most likely not going to do anything for right now!
awesome, thanks for sharing
:)
Nice video man
Thanks!
I use Motul 5w40 8100 xclean dexos2
nice
Mobil 1 is one of the most worst oil nowdays. Why not just use the GM 5w30 oem oil?
lol what
Auto Autopsy you can find aritcles about online.
I cant get the filter off of the cap? Mines like stuck
Gotta give it a little force
Is that a 4 cylinder? Because I might buy a 2006 Saab 4 cylinder with turbo a 9-3
yes.
@@AutoAutopsy i just bought the saab 6 days ago what should I do to it so it has more horse power and you should do a video on how to connect a subwoofer on a saab I searched it but all the videos are bad quality and I took off the muffler it sounds niceee
Should there be a screew missing next to the oil drain bolt on the pannel. On the right side. Or is that Normal.
i'm not missing any screws if that's what you're asking
Can i use Mobil 1 synthetic even if it does not say European
i'm sure that's fine as long as the weight/viscosity is correct.
15W50 - Walter Wong.
Hi, did you put 6 quarts or 5 quarts in?
Capacity is 6.2.
I personally use Rotella T6 5w40 in my car. Excellent oil for the price!
2nd for Rotella T6
How do you know it's good. What proof can't you show, or any data information can you provide. Amazon oil is the best iv seen yet doing my own testing
@@80.8fbettaaquatic8 What data or info do you have for amazon oil? Shell Rotella has been holding up to whatever strains a diesel turbo can do to it on the highways everyday for thousands of miles at full boost pulling 80,000 lbs +
@@dontwanta there's a hot-cold test for oil performance. Amazon oil came out on top
Im using 5-30 from GM.
You don't need to be using the 0 w 40 ,5w 30 is fine unless your living in the artic 😂😂
You can use either…I’d say most people use 0W-40 though
There's a actual oil heat and cold test this guy does on RUclips. Mobil 1 came in second, Royal purple came in last. An Amazon oil was the best. I recommend 0w 40 Mobil 1 in all turbo Saabs because no 1 understand how the oil works with the turbos performance
In all my Saab"s i am using MOBILE 1 sae 0/40 only.
nice
5 liter in my country 12 euro mobil oil orginal
lol, quarts liters are different measurements! still the same amount of fluid
why not use the factory recommended oil :O..
dexos2 is recommended in here atleast mhph.. better not to change your oil if you been using same oil all the time tho
or mby that was for the e85 cars cant rember for sure
I am using factory recommended oil lmao
