I just purchased a 2004 9³ Aero with AT off ebay (I know... I took a gamble) that should arrive sometime next week. I have a few questions concerning it.
1. Do you have to use Saab maintenance parts? i.e. oil/air/cabin air filters, spark plugs, belt, etc. Autozone lists all these parts, and some are less than eEuroparts listings. Autozone also lists SEVERAL different spark plugs here: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/ca...e&navValue=14200033&itemId=33-0&parentId=42-0
2. What is the general consensus about running Seafoam through the crankcase to clean it out? I've used it on all my other, American, GM counterparts, and have been very happy with the results.
3. On the performance side... will I be seriously underwhelmed? My current car is a 2006 GTO. I know the Saab isn't going to perform at that level, and I didn't buy it to, but is the performance for daily driving pretty decent? I bought it so I could stop racking miles up on the GTO, and to save a little in gas too.
TIA (and I'll have many more questions later I'm sure... just need to get to bed for tonight).
