Here's a link to the Saab Oil TSB, issued in July of 2000 and retro-actively applied to *ALL* 900/9000/9-3/9-5 model years.
As you can see in the TSB, all turbo models were moved to fully synthetic 0W-40 as a "minimum", with a recommended ACEA rating of A3/B3. This viscosity grade will pretty much guarantee a base oil of Group IV, which is really what Saab wanted you to have. The viscosity range can be changed around a little, but their "recommended" rating of ACEA A3/B3 should really be followed for best engine protection. (This rating sets a minimum standard for viscosity retention & additive chemistry.)
