Clean oil pan for the 9-5

Yesterday evening we`ve proceeded with my Midnight Blue Saab 9-5. Last week we`ve cleaned the oil pan and strainer. This page of Frank Wulfers was very usefull for us (never done this before to be honest).

Yesterday we`ve installed the clean oil pan back in the car. After that we`ve filled the engine with fresh oil.

Starting the car was not easy with a dead battery, so the 9-3 convertible supplied the electricity. We`ve let the engine warm up but (fortunately) did not see leaks around the oil sump.

For the moment I`m finished with my own 9-5. We want to do the same maintenance now first for the Saab 9-5 of John (an other local Saabist). John helped me with my 9-5 too the last weeks, on the picture below he is cleaning my engine.
