How Often to Change 1992 Saab 900 Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1992 Saab 900? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1992 900’s oil should be changed according to Saab’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Saab-recommended oil change intervals, your 900 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Saab if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Saab 900. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
