16000 km (10000 mi) interval oil changes? !!!!!!!!!!

Why does SAAB Canada recommend oil changes every 16000 km? Even with my limited knowledge of auto mechanics this seems way to long to wait before an oil change. Do they recommend oil changes in the US every 10000 miles? My dealer gave me some explanation that they use "special" "synthetic" oils that allow this. I am curious what type of oil this is? He also mentioned they started using this oil from the 2001 and newer models. I asked if I could take the car in more often they said yes and they quoted me $100.00 Cdn per visit. What do you gurus think about this situation? I am new to the Saab world and things are very different from the Honda/Acura world !!!
Also, is a an oil change at the 1500 km mark a good practice? I have done this with all other brand new cars I have had. When I asked the dealer to do it he said it was absolutely unnecessary.
