Why check the motor oil level in my Saab 9-7x?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your 9-7x’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Saab oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Saab 9-7x exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

Saab recommends having your 2009 Saab 9-7x’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Saab 9-7x.
