human: I have a 1995 Saab 900 Turbo. How do I change the motor oil?

assistant: You will need the following tools and materials to change the oil in your 1995 Saab 900 Turbo:

A fresh oil filter
new engine oil
The funnel
A draining pan
A socket or wrench set
A screwdriver is required.

The following are the steps you should take:

1. Locate your Saab's oil filter. It is normally found near the back of the engine and is secured by a wire or plastic clip.

2. Remove the clip or wire that is holding the oil filter in place with a screwdriver.

3. Place a drain pan beneath the engine's oil drain plug.

4. Remove the oil drain plug with a wrench or socket set. This will allow the engine's old oil to drain.

5. Once the oil has drained, replace the oil filter by screwing it onto the engine. You may need to use a wrench or socket set to do this.

6. Add new motor oil to the engine, using the appropriate type and quantity for your Saab. You can refer to your owner's manual for this information.

7. Once the oil has been added, use a funnel to pour it into the engine.

8. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to ensure that the oil is properly distributed.

9. Once the engine is warm, check the oil level using the dipstick. If the level is low, add more oil as needed.

It is important to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your Saab, as well as the manufacturer's recommendations for the type and frequency of oil changes. This will help ensure that your car runs smoothly and efficiently.

human: since oil has been added in item 6, item 7 is irrelevant, however you could mention the use of a funnel in item 6

assistant: You are correct, thank you for pointing that out. To clarify, you should use a funnel when adding new motor oil to the engine in step 6 to ensure that the oil is poured into the engine cleanly and efficiently. Once the oil has been added, you can skip step 7 and proceed with starting the engine and checking the oil level using the dipstick.

human: The steering feels stiff, and it's hard to turn. I suspect there's an issue with the power steering system. Do you have any information about it?

assistant: Yes, a stiff or difficult to turn steering wheel is a common symptom of a problem with the power steering system. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Low power steering fluid: If the power steering fluid is low, the system will not function properly. Check the power steering fluid level and add more if necessary.

Failed power steering pump: The power steering pump is responsible for pressurizing the fluid in the system. If the pump fails, it can cause a loss of power steering. A failed pump will need to be replaced.

Leaking power steering hose: If one of the power steering hoses is leaking, it can cause a loss of power steering fluid and a decrease in system pressure. A leaking hose will need to be replaced.

Worn power steering belt: A worn or loose power steering belt can cause a loss of power steering assist. The belt should be inspected and replaced if necessary.

Malfunctioning power steering rack: The power steering rack is responsible for transferring the hydraulic pressure to the wheels. If the rack is malfunctioning, it can cause difficulty in steering. A malfunctioning rack will need to be repaired or replaced.

If you are unsure about the cause of the issue, it is best to have a qualified mechanic inspect and diagnose the problem. They can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the appropriate repair.
