I change my oil when it hits 50% - that seems to be about 8-9K miles on average for my 2004 Arc vert but I think the software has been changed since then for shorter intervals. I have not done a used oil analysis so I can't tell you if it is too soon, too late or just right. I use 0w-40 Mobil 1 which is not so easy to find, I doubt the quicky lube places are going to have it and I wouldn't trust them anyway.
The oil filter is a cartridge, not a spin on. It is also used on the other GM cars with Eco Tech engines like the 2005 Cavalier and it is available from auto parts stores or Chevrolet dealer as AC PF 456G or equivalent. However, I looked at the Purolator filters at Pep Boys for this application and they didn't have as many pleats as the Saab branded filter so I bought a bunch of the Hengst filters from http://www.autopartswarehouse.com. I change the oil myself at the half interval and the dealer does it when the light comes on.
