I'm just going to point out the fact if the car has no oil, you will have no oil pressure. And light will turn on. Second. If no oil like I seen in you video. No oil and you will hear knocking. You added oil and the light turned off not because the liquid molly. Again my opinion. From my experience.
Thank you so much for this video today. I really needed my normalcy after doing a procedure at the hospital this morning. The SAAB is Alive!! That's great👍
You have a blocked oil filter, always starves the topend when it's blocked. You have a knock sensor that retards the spark nearer to tdc with bum petrol. Nice result and great car.
To be honest, I don't think the Liqui Molly helped with anything because the problem was ONLY that the engine just had low oil, hence the light went away the moment you filled more.
@@reviewsandhow-to49 It might be because you drove it a while without oil, though who knows how long the previous owner did the same lol, but it probably also cleaned that screen thing
liqui moly engine flush fixed my XC90 oil burning issue. I guess it cleaned up all the gunks in piston rings. Very good stuff. I am not a fan of engine additive at all. But I have to admit that this one works really well.
Two great videos in one day. So nice to win one with mechanic in a can. Looking forward to the Denali having this treatment to see if it clears up the problem.
Back in the day, we use to put a quart of half/half diesel and kerosene in the crank case before every oil change to remove the gunk and build up. Just drive it 5 miles and change the oil. Worked great.
Another great video..... I'm trying some liquid moly in my 954 runner. And 03 RAM. Bought the RAM for 500 bucks The oil light obviously went off because you added some oil. But the liquid moly probably helped.
Randy I was at work and wearing my AAR t-shirt and the Advance Auto Parts delivery driver said "Hey I watch him" and we started talking about the Saab. I just was taken back and was like Randy has definitely made it big.
the oilpickup is probably full of gunk, the real solution would be to take the sump off and clean it, its a known issue when the catalytic converter is placed right below the sump so the heat from the cat heats the oil up in the sump gunking it up making the pickup clogg up overtime
Speaking of which hey lunaroutlaw, Bryan you should go check out Johns channel. You'll have a good laugh. Someone decided to try to troll me on the unruly fans video he has... I m still laughing. Seriously who Trolls a TROLL HUNTER??!
Fun fact, that cup holder is a really rare option over in Europe, i watched a few go for £200 on ebay once... also this car needs to run 5w30 fully synthetic only as it has a design flaw in the PVC system that needs to be upgraded with a kit that costs about $70, if you dont do both of these things the oil will sludge and turbo go boom...
I actually had the mistake of only using regular conventional oil and mine exact same car color and all and the PCV system screwed me and the way it did it was it would spew oil back out of the oil cap
As a Saab owner. If you have no oil the lifters make lots of noise. Add oil and they will pump up. With was probably safety shutting down. Probably no sludge at all
There is a known problem with these Saab motors- the oil strainer tends to be blocked by coal particles from cracked oil. It is recommended to open the oil sump to clean and check the strainer to be clean. Especially when you used an engine cleaner before, it may happen that stuff which formerly was stuck in the motor, now blocks your oil strainer. If you want this motor to last, I highly recommend to check that. Also ignore the Saab recommend oil changing routine- do it at least every 10k KM. With good care, these engines are known to last 300, sometimes 400+ thousand kilometers. And, nice car, good bargain for the price and I like your video!
Im surprised you drove from the auction 2-3 qts low on oil. Actually oil light went out immediately upon putting in 2 qts. Liquid Moly makes some good products but its obvious your problem was low oil
In all honesty, I had very slight doubts about it, not knowing that particular product, but knowing that LiquiMoly products are recommended by Audi, I am not surprised that it worked. The European specialists that do the heavier work on my S4 swear by it and sell the majority of the product line, so my car gets thse products regularly with great results. Congrats on another successful save of a good-looking car.
Aero was a engine tune,not a body kit.biggest problem is the breather pipes that breakdown and allow small chunks of ' rubber' to get in the oil,then block the oil strainer and ultimately starve the top end and turbo of oil.
I used this stuff about 2 years ago to quiet a noisy lifter on my Mercedes. The M272 motors are notorious for lifter tick and this stuff cleaned whatever crap was inside that lifter and quieted it down. I changed the oil/filter immediately after and it seems to be gone.
It was low on oil Randy? But glad to see you serviced it and I can tell liquid Molly stuff really works now get a can off sea foam and spray it threw the throttle body and decarbonise the intake
I own this Saab... Drop the pan and clean the oil pick up tube... Replace oring and cross tube oring. Make sure you have the updated PCV kit. Go to eEuroparts or the Saab site. You need to do this.... this is only a band aid. It's a great car..... enjoy
On most european cars the oil can is a multi purpose light. Can mean both low oil and oil pressure. The fact that the car was low on oil suggests that was the cause. Also 5w-30 is too thin for a high milage 4 cyl turbo, change to 5w-40, otherwise youll be burning oil quicker tan you can refill.
Saab's take 4 1/2 quarts of oil, cars with over 100,000 miles you should use 10/40 full synthetic and the next oil change drop the pan and clean the oil pickup screen this will prevent sledge buildup. GM used a finer screen on cars after 94 hence the problems with engines blowing up. All cars benefit from proper looking after and yes Liqui Moly does work.
Liqui Molly is a great product they have one for engine oil additive i tried it on a BMW 750 that was smoking really bad and the smoking stopped for a year or so and then it started smoking again i added another bottle and it stopped great product
Hey i'm sure you're aware but just in case, Liqui Moly makes a Lifter additive product that would be great to put in the denali along with the engine flush.
These starve for oil because the screen over the oil pump becomes clogged with sludge. The way to deal with this is to drop the oil pan clean it and the screen. Then pull the valve cover and clean this. I have replaced many of these 4 cyl. Saabs.
If you say the oil is low! You pulled out the dipstick to check right? So why not just put in some engine oil to top it up!? Even when you put the stuff in you have to wait a few minutes before checking the level! Engine flush also is not good for older engines as it can dislodge all sorts of carbon deposits etc in the engine which can then move it around the engine potentially blocking oil ways etc. never use it. Your best bet was to simply change the oil and filter (without using the flush), take it for a good run and get it nice and hot, then drain and replace not forgetting the oil filter. Remember the engine flush will thin what oil is in the engine, so you'll now have to change it.
Get the genuine Saab open air intake for it it's a little bit on the spendy side but will make a ton of cool turbo noises and will most likely get you more money
Hi Randy, have enjoyed your videos from your early days. You are the best 👍 I noticed you always have water running down your street. Was wondering where it is coming from. From where I am from, looks like mining water. 🤷♂️
Actually the Saab 900 I had was having the same problem and when I change the oil and it came back to full again the engine run perfect. And I was told it is what they do and it is something they made at Saab to put the car in limp mode. But if that is the same with yours I can’t say. But it could be
I think it was the fact it was 3 quarts low on oil not that it was slugged up. Common sense says check your oil before you drive a vehicle you have never seen before!
Saab’s run fine on regular (well they should at least), they are tuned that way. Not an Aero it was a motor upgrade not a looks package What did the oil look like when you drained it ?? How did you fix the top ??
Aero used to be a more powerful engine, better handling/brakes AND body package like skirts,spoilers and stuff, but the last years it was just an upgrade of the look and you could get the aero look with smaller engines too. ..A very bad way to go if you ask me..
Keep it its a good little runner not bad looking leather interior you ain't got a cabby soft top send something else down the road to cover repair costs
Your drive has a slope and I assume you know that the oil runs to the back of the pan away from the dipstick? You topped off the oil plus the additive. Hard to tell if the product did the job.
Interesting video.... Hard to know for sure with your spotty knowledge of what oil to use, how much you should use, the fact it was low on oil for so long.... But still pretty good outcome for a liquid mechanic. BTW, I feel for your neighbors not being able to use the side walk since you have cars parked right over the sidewalk. Where I live that is a by-law infraction and it's always enforced when the mommy's out walking or running with the strollers can't get by, never mind the seniors with the scooter/walkers/wheelchairs. But hey you have nice cars though, they can't be parked on the street they are too nice.....
Get Liqui Moly Here: amzn.to/2MqP4du
Amazing! Put oil in the car, light goes out! Wow!
I'm just going to point out the fact if the car has no oil, you will have no oil pressure. And light will turn on.
Second. If no oil like I seen in you video. No oil and you will hear knocking. You added oil and the light turned off not because the liquid molly. Again my opinion. From my experience.
the oil pressure light doubles as a low oil warning on saabs
Add some Lucas. Oil light on from low oil level or bad sending unit. Looks like it just needed oil.
Thank you so much for this video today. I really needed my normalcy after doing a procedure at the hospital this morning. The SAAB is Alive!! That's great👍
That car ran and drove great and sold quick. Good job on the repairs Randy.
She was starving for oil 🛢
Another auto auction Rebuilds on another channel haha. Yes, I'm following both lol. Double dose of Randy today haha

This Saab is the GM era Saab 😱😱😱
liqui moly engine flush fixed my XC90 oil burning issue. I guess it cleaned up all the gunks in piston rings. Very good stuff. I am not a fan of engine additive at all. But I have to admit that this one works really well.
that engine is tough ... i dont think it was only a sludge problm .. you ran it without oil Randy... the low oil light was on in the first video.
The oil pressure light turned off right away. No way that was sludge. Randy probably just fucked the engine because he was too lazy too add some oil
Then why was it still rattling for 20 minutes AFTER I put oil in it??

That’s some Trollhättan technology right there on American soil. Cool!
Thanks for explain and show how the product works, frankly i've never expect the product works very well
Engine flush should be added to an engine up to temperature. You will damage a cold engine
Randy I was at work and wearing my AAR t-shirt and the Advance Auto Parts delivery driver said "Hey I watch him" and we started talking about the Saab. I just was taken back and was like Randy has definitely made it big.

Great video Randy keep up all the hard work mate
I might be on drugs cause I'm hooked on Randy content!
I am from the uk imiss my 93 viggen convertible boosted to 300 hp absolute animal
I bet it's a small oil filter There is a larger oil filter available just in case that light comes back on .....

Liqui Moly got another product for cleaning injector, maybe you can try it on this car as well
i knew i seen this video , i looked everywhere this moring for it and ......... hell yeah lets see how this works
it helps to check the right dip stick
I would change the DIC and plugs while you're at it man.
great video on the car
Congratulations on the new channel. Very smart move.
Not an aero package but super clean. The high pressure power steering hose always leaks on the ng and og 9-3/ 9-5
After the molly you should use
Pennzoil High mileage oil Bc it conditions older seals
So does M1 HM that I used.
The molygen oil is great! Use it in most of my cars.
Love the behind the scenes look of this
Look at that hot Mopar
I own this Saab...
Drop the pan and clean the oil pick up tube... Replace oring and cross tube oring. Make sure you have the updated PCV kit. Go to eEuroparts or the Saab site.
You need to do this.... this is only a band aid.
It's a great car..... enjoy
Randy!! You need to plug yourself man I watch religiously and I totally FORGOT you do this as well!! I wont forget now!
Liqui molli is the BEST BRAND!! Use alot of their products on my vehicles, especially their engine oil
The hellcat sound amazing.
Bet your neighbors love all of your cars in the driveway lol

Two-fer Friday !! Woot woot !!!

Nice one, Randy - nice break for you. How'd you get that roof working?
0W-40 or 5W-30 full synthetic, with a WIX filter. I run 4qts Mobil 1, and a qt of Marvel Mystery Oil. My Saabs run top notch.
I want to be good at car maintenance, but it's hard.👍
So the SAAB became an easy flip. Nice turn out for a nice car.
Didn't see that coming when I watched its first video.
You trying to hide this channel randy??lol Wish I would’ve known about it!! Love your videos man!! I subscribed!! 😁😱🤔✌️🤘

Did anybody else notice during the drive, the upper right side gauge was very erratic? Hopefully that's not the oil pressure gauge.
royal purple is a good detergent proformance oil just use it . the inside of your motor will be clean .it is expensive
Maybe the pressure light burned?
Try liqui moly molygen oil,its a bit expensive but your engine wil runs very fine
