1996 Saab 9000 Maintenance

You want your Saab 9000 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 9000 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 9000 maintenance. Just follow your 1996 Saab 9000 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Saab themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 9000's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1996 Saab 9000 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Saab 9000 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 9000. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Saab 9000. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 9000 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Saab 9000 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 9000 stranded. Your Saab 9000 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1996 Saab 9000 engine. To learn how often Saab recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 9000, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1996 Saab 9000? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Saab 9000 steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Saab 9000 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Saab 9000's steering system with regular maintenance.
