Automatic Gearbox Oil Replacement

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Transmission fluid

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and position a container of appropriate capacity under the gearbox. Then, unscrew the oil drain plug located on the side, near the exhaust catalyst: once the old oil has fully drained, refit the plug after cleaning it of any debris. Next, open the front bonnet and locate the transmission oil level dipstick: use the dipstick tube to refill the oil with one that meets the ATF specifications for the vehicle in question.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
