78% Oil Life at 3900 miles with our '06 9-3SC....... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Software updates for 9-3 oil life monitor, Stephen Goldberger, Sun, 30 Jul 2006 11:31:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I changed the oil at just under 1,000 miles (without resetting the monitor) before starting a 2,400 mile road trip, and will change it again at 5,000 miles. At this rate I will probably be changing the oil myself at 10,00 miles and 15,000 miles before I finally get my first "free oil change" at nearly zero oil life and somewhere around 20,000 miles.
Completely worthless piece of software in my opinion. I pity all future buyers of "Off Lease" 9-3's who will be buying cars with only one oil change in the ~27,000 mile lease period. Saab's reputation for engine durability will be destroyed as a result of this algorithm.
