What can low oil do to my Saab 900 engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Saab 900 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Saab 900 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

Do I need to replace my 900’s oil filter when changing my oil?

When to Change 1984 Saab 900 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1984 Saab 900? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1984 900’s oil should be changed according to Saab’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your 900 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, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Saab if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Saab 900. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
