I believe that the SAAB factory recommended oil change interval was 7500 miles for the 2.0 n/a motor and 3750 for 2.0 turbos.
I try to keep to a 3000 mile schedule for my '86 turbo (spg), but occasionally go as far as 4000 between changes.
Here's some advice-
1) Make sure you don't run low on oil while you're waiting for an opportunity to change it.
2) Learn to change it yourself. For tools, you need a wrench, a drain pan, and a rag. For supplies, you need 4 quarts of fine dinosaur juice, an oil filter, and an oil plug gasket- this will run you between 10 and 20 bucks, depending on the brand names involved.
