1998 Saab 900 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Saab 900, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your 900 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 900, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Saab 900 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Saab themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 900 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Saab 900 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Saab 900 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 900. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1998 Saab 900 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Saab 900 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 900 stranded. Your Saab 900 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1998 Saab 900's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1998 900. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1998 Saab 900? We can help with that, too!
