224 Technical data Fuel Fuel-tank capacity _____ For optimum performance, we recommend the following: 2.0 Turbo 185 bhp _____ 17 U.S. gal. (64 l) Viscosity: The viscosity of oil is classified according to the SAE standard. Nowadays, multigrade oils are always used in cars. The properties 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 (-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 requirements 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 requirements A3/B3. This viscosity makes starting in cold weather easier.
