Saab Turbo motor oil or motor oil to API SG and CCMC G4/G5 specification at least. These oils contain suitable additives for the engine.

If 5W oils are used, they must be of fully-synthetic or semi-synthetic type.

In markets where the only 5W oil obtainable is of mineral type, such oil may be used provided that it meets the standards of quality specified above.
