I just had the same problem with a 92 9000 with 100k miles.
It started after I did an oil change with Sears spectrum 10W-30 oil.
I just changed it again with Shell 20W-50 and it seems much better.
The light was coming on @ 750-800 rpm (at idle with engine fully
warmed up) even with a brand new sensor (oil pressure sending unit).
Now, only when I force the idle down to ~500 rpm. If you want to
stick with synthetic, try the 15W-50 from Mobil1. I should check
the actual oil pressure on my SAAB.
