Coolant Saab 9-3. The expansion tank is transparent, to facilitate checking. The level must be a little under the mark ”KALT – COLD” on the tank when the engine is cold. If the SID message “FILL COOLANT FLUID” is displayed, the level in the expansion tank should be checked. Top up as necessary with equal parts of clean water and coolant. Use only coolant approved by Saab. If the expansion tank is empty when coolant is added, run the engine to normal temperature and top up again, as necessary. All information how to reset fill coolant fluid indicator on a Saab 9-3 is taken from owners manual.

Coolant Saab 9-3. The cooling system is filled at the factory with coolant containing a 50% concentration of a combined antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor. A weaker mixture will result in reduced anticorrosion protection. For protection against freezing in very cold weather, a stronger concentration will be needed. A 60% concentration of antifreeze will provide protection at temperatures down to -58 F (-50°C). The corrosion-inhibiting properties of the coolant deteriorate over time, but coolant approved by Saab can be used for year-round protection. Change the coolant as specified in the service program (page 215) and use only coolant approved by Saab – other makes may need changing more frequently and may damage the system.

Refueling Saab 9-3. Ensure that you are using the correct grade of fuel, unleaded AON 87-93. For optimum performance we recommend:

  • AON 90 for 2.0 Turbo 185 hp.
  • AON 93 for 2.0 Turbo 205 hp and 2.3 Turbo Viggen.

If fuel containing a mixture of alcohol is used, the following restrictions apply: Methanol: max. 5% by volume. Ethanol: max. 10% by volume. MTBE: max. 15% by volume. The fuel filler cap is located in the right rear quarter panel. Switch off engine. Insert the fuel-pump nozzle beyond the flange on the filler pipe. Do not withdraw the nozzle while filling is in progress. Cease refuelling the first time the pump stops. Fuel-tank capacity: 17.0 US gal. (64 liters)m Screw on the filler cap and keep turning until it has clicked at least three times. Manually opening the fuel filler door, see page 131, Convertible, page 52.

The most effective way to prevent condensation forming in the tank (and thus avoid possible running problems) is to keep the tank well filled. Before the onset of freezing temperatures in winter, it may be advisable to add gasoline anti-freeze to the fuel a few times to dispel any condensation in the system.
