I think Saab used the same size filter (ACDelco PF53) on all of the models from the C900 all the way up thru the 9-5's? I've always upsized the filter because I extend my Oil Change Intervals and the slightly bigger filters hold about twice as much dirt, so it makes me feel better. :-)
I could probably use the smaller OE filter on my '02 9-3 because I'm changing the oil every 5,000 miles (due to the T7 sludging issue). But the bigger filter doesn't cost any more than the smaller one, and it still makes me feel better to use it, so I do. I ran a lot of Used Oil Analysis on my '99 9-3 (T5) and found I could easily go 10,000 miles if I changed the larger filter at 5,000. I also ran a lot of UOA on my '90 C900 (non-turbo) and changed the oil every 20,000 miles but the larger filter every 10,000.
