For basic stuff, you don't need a Saab dealer. What attention did you think the transmission needs ? Hardly a regular service item ! Golden rule #1. Use synthetic engine oil ! In the UK, Mobil One is the recommended choice. Change every 10k miles. The engine will last a long, long time. http://www.mobil1.com/index.jsp Oh and use the right spark plugs. NGKs ( forget the part number offhand ) only for engines with direct ignition. Other tips. Fix stuff before it gets worse ! It's more expensive when it gets worse ( usually ). Graham
