How do you read the oil level correctly on dipstick to 1995 Saab 900S?

Check the ECM fuse in fuse box ( 7.5)amp

I hope you win your bet but, the drain for the oil is center of the oil pan. There are no other drain plugs near that. They may have drained the differential or transfer case by mistake if that is a front wheel drive. If they over filled your engine oil they should be repairing the engine though. Transmission fluid is red and it would have been obvious they drained that by mistake so I would agree that wasn't what was drained.

You may not find a dipstick as the gearbox may not have one!! Some are leveled through the speedo drive aperture. Some have a level plug on the side of the housing. This level plug is also used to top up the level by adding fluid and then allowing the excess to run out until it stops.. The speedo drive type, you remove the drive from the housing and when you look into the aperture, you will see a ledge, fill the housing until the fluid is level with this ledge. Refit the drive and all should be well.Some have a level which is underneath the gear lever boot and you need to remove the boot to access it..

go to your local saab or gm autostore i would go to my gm store as you know gm own saab and fit it also fits this engine to saab get the oil seal for your lower distributer fit and it should be ok.adrian;;;

my 1995 saab 900s actually has the code written on the casing of the radio once you pull it out

I bought a 98 900s and needed code for radio. Looked through the owners manual , and sure enough , previous owner had writen it down on back page. It's worth a look. Good luck.

Oil change interval has nothing to do with operating temperature. If your coolant is full, feel the upper radiator hose, when the vehicle is up to temp. if cool , thermostat is back from that hose,

Look for air bleeds, and read owners manual, some cars have coolant bleeds. Also, heater on high when filling coolant or risk bubbles...

My thought is that your fans may not be kicking in. They should cycle on and keep temp low enough. test them.

The dip stick end should have a plastic square piece with two roundish bulbs on each end. The oil level should read just at the bottom of the top bulb (the bulb nearest the yellow cap at the top end of the dip stick). This indicates full. A level reading anywhere between the two bulbs is adequate but not optimal. Oil below the top end of the bottom bulb, means 1 quart low, and no oil at all on the bottom bulb means get some oil in there double quick.
