Re: Blue Smoke redux: oil change interval too long Posted by andy [Email] (#759) [Profile/Gallery] (more from andy) on Sat, 20 Jul 2002 13:50:51 In Reply to: Blue Smoke redux: oil change interval too long, Patrick, Fri, 19 Jul 2002 21:07:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I dont know about the oil change interval, but when I bought my car the dealer put regular oil into it, instead of the synthetic it was previously serviced with. I bought it used from a non-saab dealer. Would think that it would be even less likely to smoke with regular oil considering the viscosity, but that doesnt seem to be the case. At next oil change I'm switching back to synthetic. Also, the dealer I am using (Eisenhauer in Reading, PA) refuses to acknowledge that the smoke problem is anything but normal. First time there I got the black smoke internal memo, which isnt even the problem. Second time there they attributed it to the engine computer "set to rich" so that it starts easier and won't stall immediately. Im ready to take this to a higher authority (it goes to an independent mechanic next week) and after that who knows.
