2001 9-5 Service Interval - Is it 6000M/10000km or 10000M/16000km?
Posted by Q (more from Q) on Mon, 19 Feb 2001 20:45:50
Hello,
I own a 2001 9-5 Aero Wagon which was purchased thru the IDS program in October of 2000. Spent
two weeks driving this incredible machine on all the autobahns in Europe. Sigh... But that's
another story.
Anyway, it now has 5700 miles and I notice that the 2001 Warranty and Service manual (Int.
Eng Ordering nr. 41 91 27 pg 4), says that the Service Interval:
'A. Every 6 000 miles/10 000 km (starting at 6 000 miles/10 000 km ) or once a year'.
However, the 2001 95 Owner's Manual (US/Ca ordering nr. 41 86 32 P/N 52369021 pg 242) says:
'Service Intervals
The maintenance schedule is comprised of a Check-up 30 days after retail delivery, followed
by services at every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) thereafter (10,000 20,000, 30,000 miles/16,000
32,000 48,000 km etc.)'
So what is it? Do I get the thing serviced every 6K or 10K miles?
The dealer claims that the Owner's Manual is correct, which means only 3 free services for
them instead of 5. Saab customer support says to change the oil every 3000 miles (sorry, but
what a complete moron).
Now you see why I'm posting this question here...
Thanks for any info,
Q
