Motor oil
|
Grade:
Saab Turbo motor oil or motor oil to API SG and CCMC G4/G5 specification at least. These oils contain suitable additives for the engine. We advise against the use of additional additives.
Viscosity:
SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40. If these viscosities are unobtainable, 15W-40 oil may be used, but not during the winter. If 5W oils are used, they must be of fully-synthetic or semi-synthetic type. In countries in which the temperature never falls below +15-20°C, use oil with a viscosity of 15W-50 or 20W-50.

Lubrication to prevent seizing
Threaded joints subjected to wide temperature fluctuations may tend to seize and will then be difficult to unscrew on the next service occasion.
Typical threaded joints of this type are:
EGR valve connections
Oxygen sensor
Retaining nuts for the exhaust manifold and turbocharger
Recommended lubricants: MOLYCOTE 1000 - 30 20 971 or NEVER SEIZE.
