<I have a 1995 Saab 900i, last service was 55k in December 99. I'm now at <59k and wondering if it's worth getting an oil and filter change? <Basically the Oil is clear and it's hardly used any, but I know a lot of <people say it's beneficial to change around every 3k - are there any <drawbacks to doing this, and are there any Saab quirks which make this a <good or bad idea? I have a 900s 1995 with 153,000 miles, roughly 30k a year. I get my oil changed every 10k, as recommended in the manual. I do a lot of highway driving. My dealer tried to sell me (still does) on changing the oil every 3k. Ridiculous, the way I drive. I called SAAB about it and they agreed that every 10k was the recommended change for my driving profile. If you do a lot of short term, stop and go driving, change it sooner.
