You want your Saab 9-5 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 9-5 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2011 Saab 9-5!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Saab, your vehicle manufacturer.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Saab 9-5

Bring your 2011 Saab 9-5 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 9-5’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2011 Saab 9-5? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Saab 9-5 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Saab 9-5 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2011 Saab 9-5 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2011 9-5. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2011 Saab 9-5.
