Saab recommends having your 1998 Saab 900’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Saab 900. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

1998 Saab 900 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Saab 900? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Saab 900 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 900 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Saab 900 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Saab 900 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Saab 900 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Saab 900 oil light comes on? Your Saab 900 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Saab 900? It's recommended that you replace your Saab 900 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
