These oils are specially developed from high-quality components to meet the demands of extended service intervals (max. 18,000 miles (30,000 km) or 2 years). Saab and Mobil oils are tested and approved in accordance with the GM standard for long-life oils. Such gasoline engine oils are given the designation GM-LL-A 025. The requirements are the same for diesel oils, though these are given the designation GM-LL-B 025. To ensure optimum engine performance, with regard to lubrication, the ability to dissolve residues and the neutralisation of combustion products in the oil, for a service interval of 18,000 miles (30,000 km) or a maximum of 2 years, the engine oil used must fulfil GM-LL-A 025 (gasoline engines) or GM-LL-B 025 (diesel engines). Only oil of the above grades may be used. Oils of the above grades contain the additives required for the engine to function well. We advise against the use of further additives. The gasoline engine oil is unique in that not only does it fulfil the stringent requirements demanded by API and ACEA standards but also meets ACEA requirements for fuel-saving properties.
