Just changed the oil in the Saab. First time I've done my own oil in over a decade - the 70.00 bill from Jiffy Lube because of the Synthetic upgrade is what urged me to do it myself. Jacking a 9000 needs a good floor jack, and I bought a bad one that didn't lift the car high enough; I wonder if I might have been better off with a good bottle jack, but I borrowed a good floor jack from the neighbor and that did the trick; I think I might get a 3 ton bottle jack and see how that works out.

Some notes
22mm spanner for drain plug
Decent Filter Wrench needed
Decent Jack needed.

The biggest time consumers were the Jack, sorting out which spanner to use, and laying hands on a decent filter wrench. These are notes for next time, which will be October or November.
