Saab recommends changing your 2006 9-5’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your 9-5 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Saab 9-5. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2006 Saab 9-5 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Saab 9-5 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Saab 9-5 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Saab oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Saab 9-5 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Saab 9-5 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Saab 9-5 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Saab 9-5 oil light illuminated? Your Saab 9-5 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my 9-5's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Saab 9-5 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
