Nice video.
Was you reccomend 0w/40 or did you opt for that?
I have an 04 9-3 and I think it's 5w/30 but I'm getting conflicting information.

My manual states the following.
Recommended oil viscosity: For gasoline engines, SAE 0W-30 engine oil.
Some oil companies have engine oils meeting our requirements (GM-LL-A-025) but with other viscosities than what we recommend as a first choice. Those engine oils are also accepted.
The Mobil 1 0W40 I used stated that it is compatible with the GM-LL-A-025 specification. I would go with what your manual specifications state and pick a major brand for the oil meeting the specifications.

2 years late but I’m pretty sure the manual goes through a few things that can be used 5w/30 is probably the most common place to use though

Anyone still driving their Saab. My 2207 still runs great. The odometer broke years ago so my silver princess has no idea how old she is 😅.

that oil looked REALLY dirty.

You are not finished until you prime the engine.
