My opinion is that from reading the recently issued 8yr/unlimited warrany bulletin at my dealership last week, is that you have to use synthetic oil if you want to participate.
I have been a synthetic user since the early 1980's with no engine component failures of any kind in well over a million miles of driving SAAB.
The characteristics of regular oil are not sufficient in a SAAB turbo engine, with regards to ring temps, and coking in the turbo itself.
It's your car, and you are free to do what you like. FYI, In my wife's AERO ('02) it sees nothing but Mobil 1 0W-40 every 5k miles. Car otta out live me with this regimen :).
