Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Engine oil

Lift the vehicle using a hydraulic lift or suitable axle stands. Position a container with adequate capacity (approximately 5 litres) under the oil sump and unscrew the drain plug located at the front of the sump; once the oil has drained, tighten the plug again. Also, unscrew the oil filter located just behind the sump (using the appropriate tool or a metal strap wrench) and apply the new one after coating the gasket with oil (hand-tightening is sufficient).
Then, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the user and maintenance manual.
