Burning Oil?

Hello,
I have a 9-3, 2004 2.0T I just bought with 30,000 miles. This is my 8th Saab, and I generally change oil every 5,000 miles. The manual for the 2004 says change at 10,000 to 15,000 miles, so I was waiting to hit 10,000 to change the oil, but at about 9,000 miles the oil light came on and the car was a full quart low. Dealer mechanic could find no leaks and said it was low because I had not the oil changed in 9,000 miles.
This sounds wrong to me. Has anyone else experience oil loss from from doing a 10,000 mile oil change interval? I would like to work this out before hitting the 50,000 mile warranty limit.
Thanks, Drew Harty
