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.
