Viscosity:
The viscosity of oil is classified according to the SAE standard.
Nowadays, multigrade oils are always used in cars. The proper-
ties of these oils facilitate starting the car in cold weather but
mean that the oil is also viscous enough to coat all moving parts
under high pressures and with high outside air temperatures.
Multigrade oils are graded with two viscosities, e.g. 10W-30,
where the 10W meets certain viscosity requirements at -4°F
Fuel-tank capacity __________________ 17 U.S. gal. (64 l)
For optimum performance, we recommend
the following:
2.0
Turbo 185 bhp _________________ 90 AON, unleaded
gasoline,
minimum 87 AON
2.0
Turbo 205 bhp and Viggen ________ 93 AON, unleaded
gasoline,
minimum 87 AON
(-20°C),
while the 30 fulfills requirements at a temperature of
212°F
(100°C).
Basic recommendations for Saab engines:
•
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40.
SAE 5W-30 can also be recommended but in which case the oil
must be semi of fully-synthetic and fulfil ACEA grade require-
ments A3/B3.
Oils which are less viscous, such as 0W/-40/50 are becoming
more common and may be used. However, the oil must be
fully-synthetic, of a well known brand, and fulfil ACEA grade re-
quirements A3/B3.
This viscosity makes starting in cold weather easier.
