Maintinence Questions
In my other post I said I'm a newbie to Saabs. I wasn't kidding :D
I'm just curious what the maintinence schedules are like. How often should I flush and fill transmission fluid (auto trans), fuel filter, oil changes, spark plugs, etc, etc. Ours is a '04 9-3 Arc Convertible (2.0 Turbo) with an Automatic Transmission. Any help is much appreciated. TIA! |

Auto tranny service as per owners manual. The oil changes I wouldn't do less often than 5K miles. Use a saab filter and good synthetic oil. Check out www.eeuroparts.com for maintainance items. The spark plugs (you're gonna hate me for this) MUST be the correct NGKs gapped to .39 I believe. This car is very sensitive to the spark plug gap, so I'd regap every 15K miles. Pay attention to the serpantine belt and it's tensioneer as that is a 60K mile service item.

Easy enough... I'm a maintinence freak, so I wouldn't be suprised if I just replace plugs every 15k... lol

Not a bad idea...just be sure that they are correct NGKs and are gapped properly.

I got lucky... Our Check Engine Light Came On within warranty (49,459mi), and they replaced the spark plugs (since that was the problem)... Only thing is that it needs a serpentine belt and tensioner... Oh well, at least I got plugs done for free... :DAlready got a belt and I'm going to order the tensioner tomorrow...
