More from the manual:
We recommend the use of oils that are available from your Saab
dealer, for the regular oil changes.
These oils fulfill the most stringent requirements set by API and
ACEA classifications.
Oil for gasoline engines is classified by the API standards
(American Petroleum Institute) into the grade classes SH (since
1993) and SJ (since 1996). The SJ class fulfils more stringent
requirements and has a lower phosphorous level.
These grade classes are most often combined with the corresponding
classes for diesel engines. The class designations for
diesel engines begin with the letter âCâ (Commercial). For example
a grade combination suitable for both types of engine could
be API SH/CD or SJ/CF.
Under ACEA nomenclature, oils are divided into Class A for gasoline
engines and Class B for diesel-engined passenger cars.
There is a further class for heavy diesel engines. Each class is
divided into three grades: 1, 2 and 3, where grades 2 and 3 normally
encompass semi and fully-synthetic oils. The diesel class
B also has a fourth grade, B4, which encompasses tests and
regulations aimed at improving the performance of direct injection
engines.
In the same way as in the API system, gasoline and diesel
engine specifications are combined for products that can be
used in both types of engine. For example, a grade designation
could be ACEA A2/B2 or ACEA A3/B3/B4.
To afford Saab engines the best protection, with regard to lubrication,
the ability to dissolve residues and the neutralization of
combustion products, we recommend the following oil grades:
⢠API SH/CD/CF or SJ/CD/CF.
⢠ACEA A3/B3/B4.
These oils contain the additives required for the engine to
function well. We advise against the use of further additives
