Re: Turbo care 2001 9-3 Viggen Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Mon, 23 Dec 2013 06:28:50 In Reply to: Turbo care 2001 9-3 Viggen, Tom Dellava, Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:34:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The Viggen uses the HOT version of the engine, same as the 9-5 Aero, so I am fairly certain it has the Mitsubishi turbo rather than the Garret. The Mitsu is preferred by many but I logged over 300K miles on my first 9-5 equipped with a Garret turbo with no issues.
I am also a firm believer in 5W/40 oil rated for turbo diesel use in these engines......not to start an oil thread.
