Replacement of Engine Oil and Filter

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

Lift the vehicle with appropriate jacks and secure it with suitable supports to prevent it from falling. Place a plastic sheet and an oil collection bowl under the engine. Unscrew the oil cap on the sump and allow the oil to drain. Close the oil cap, refit the oil filter, and top up with new oil. Using a suitable socket spanner, gently unscrew the oil filter and remove it from its seat. Replace the used cartridge with a new one. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centres.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
