For any other TTID owners; the larger amount of oil removed is due to diesel dilution of the oil caused by not completing regeneration of the DPF, or interrupted regeneration. What this does is then dump the diesel into the oil, making your oil less effective at lubricating the engine. This is a widely known killer of the Z19DTR engines in the TTID. Ensure you check your oil often to ensure its not too far over the max line, if it is, this will damage or kill your engine completely. The recommended oil for the TTID is Mobil 1 ESP 0W40, which is a 'low Ash' oil, engineered to minimise Ash and soot and theoretically being kinder to your DPF etc. The DPF is what kills this car really, which is a shame. I've just bought a pump to remove the excess oil, and will be performing oil changes about every 3-6 months from here on out, with close monitoring of the levels

Hello. How do I know when dpf is regenerating. I dont have much experience as i used to drive before only petrol saabs.My 9-3x ttid /'12/ has very strange dipstick,very very hard to read. Is this latest engine dumping diesel into oil sump too? Thanks

Generally speaking your idle will sit higher and you'll be able to smell it also. You will probably also see an amount of smoke coming from the exhaust which can be somewhat alarming. My advice personally would be to have it removed and mapped out, which is what I ended up doing just before I got rid of my TTID. bittersweet moment as I was getting nearly 70mpg on the motorway after the removal 😭

Idle higher * 950rpm when regenerating, compared yo 899-900 ish when not regenerating. Also keep an eye on your 'Distance to Empty' this will rapidly decrease while regenerating amd start to climb again when the regeneration is complete

Thanks for all of your Videos on the TTID, Jonas 👍they've helped me out a lot with mine!

You have to use oil with the C3 specification if the DPF is still in place. A3/B4 has additives which won't burn away by regeneration

Another great video!! Really like watching your channel specially when you do work on your Convertible. I own one just like yours!

There was diesel Mixxed in oil. Its beacuse dpf. Thats why you had 5l "oil" in there.

Strange thing, with the oil. 🤔 Thanks for another great video!

Great video, I think the reason for extra oil is due to the oil being diluted with diesel, unburnt fuel used for dpf regen is channelled into the sump. The regen MUST complete its cycle otherwise this is what happens.

Thanks for a great video. Managed to change to oil on my 9-3 ttid with little to none mechanical experience thanks to this video. But still got the flickering oil pressure lamp at cold starts...

Got bigger issues at the moment, a hose connecting to the water pump is leaking a bit, got a slight oil leakage from the oil filter housing and the servo oil container is also leaking... Got a friend who is a mechanic to help me out. It still runs good, but I need to fix these issues before they evolve into bigger problems. I don't mind the short flickering of the oil pressure lamp at start as long as I know that it doesn't damage anything. So I will probably leave it for now.

I have a Saab Aero Ttid 2010 with Hirsch performance upgrade that I purchased new and still have it in the family. It has now done 148,000 Km and the low oil pressure warning just flickers when you cold start it. However I do know what the problem is and will share it with you, it is a common fault with elderly Ttid's. Their is a seal just under the oil pump on the pick up side, that over time starts to go hard with age. When the car is left overnight the oil drains back from the pump and when the oil is cold it is of a thicker viscosity. When you start the car the pump pulls a little air in through the defect seal and does not get the oil up quick enough before the ECU oil pressure detection kicks in and shows the warning. To correct this, it is sump off and replace the seal, 4 hour job. However it will make you sweat a bit. However it is not a problem to use as long as the low oil pressure warning only flickers. If it is on considerably longer or it stays on, turn engine off immediately as you could destroy the engine. Hope that helps.

So the correct oil is 0W-40... And my 08 TTiD has been serviced with 5W-40 all its life. Gonna do it right this time. Also my oil level is showing way too high on dip stick. Must be that extra diesel from failed regen. Gonna have to get that poo poo dpf deleted somehow. Great videos btw! Cheers!

Same issues with higher oil levels on my 08 TTID. You don't know when the DPF will regenerate on the 08 model. So I use the DPF info app on my smartphone and a OBD2 BT scanner. It tells you the DPF saturation %. At 70% and under the right conditions it will regenerate and you can follow the process on your phone. Easy fix for fuel dumping in the oil.

Bytte på min idag. Oljefiltret sitter där det sitter, omöjligt att föra ut uppåt så det blir en del spill när man måste ta det neråt. Hällde i 4.3l 0W-40.

Changing the oil filter on a TTiD is easy. Put the car on axle stands and remove the right front wheel. From that POV you can see the filter and it is accessible for removal. Before unscrewing the filter housing, put a a plastic hose (10mm inner dia.) on the little tube next to the filter and let it rest in an oil pan. With a good filter clamp (or 32mm socket - depends on filter housing) gentily unscrew the filter ( either from the engine bay or wheel arch). After a few turns, oil wil start to flow thru the hose. The oil filter is now starting to drain. Put a clotch under the filter and wait until no more oil is coming out of the hose. Then fully unscrew the filter by hand and remove it via the wheel arch. No messy situation and hardly any oil loss.

You had more oil becose it was mixed with diesel gas. It gets there when dpf burnout is interrupted.

@marcots1000

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, 100% sure. When the dpf is getting clogged up, the ECU requests the injectors to spray a little diesel during the post combustion phase in order to help the dpf itself (and so the battery with its energy) to burn the particulate out in it. This way the diesel runs through the exhaust duct, reaching the dpf; the high temperature does the rest...But it means the diesel runs even into the oil sump...I can tell you how many issues the dpf is causing!! It's a dirty solution to the PM10, the worst when the PM10 are burned they are turned to PM8, 6, 2 ect even more dangerous. The whole phase is called regeneration and it's pretty hard to realize when it's happening, little bit easier when the vehicle is still, idle gear. One can only notice a slightly car shaking. A hint...drive your car over 2000 RPM. The real solution to this issue is unfortunately not legal but hundreds times more healthy.

I suppose you could use other grades but I wouldn't risk it and I live in the UK near London where it doesn't usually get too cold. I normally use Mobil 1 0w40 as it had the Saab approval.

Maybe the extra liquid in the oil was from failed regens dumping diesel in to the engine? I've read this is what causes high oil levels and the pick up seal degrading.
