Try 9-3 BB for better results... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 2003 9-3 Oil Change - WHEN??, Val, Thu, 11 Mar 2004 09:47:52 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
As you service question is not really related to detailing.
Do you have a 9-3SS or a 9-3SE Convertible? The 9-3SE gets it first oil change at 10k, the 9-3SS has an oil life monitor in the SID so there's no specific interval, but on average it's around 15k.
If it's a 9-3SS, do you know how to access the service menu in from the "cusomizer" button? It's in the book or the Quick Reference guide. It'll tell you what percentage of oil life you have left or a number of days until you need service.
Even with 6+ quarts of full synthetic oil some folks don't think you should let a car go 15k to the first oil change. IMO I think it's OK, but I can understand the other side.
The free service that came with your car will only pay for it when the SID says it's time around 15k so if you wanna' do it more often it's at your expense.
