Per manual SAAB 0W-30 or Mobil 1 0W-40 could be used. Since SAAB does not make oil they just use SAAB sticker on the bottle with some other brand oil, not sure what brand though. Ither one could be used.
As per my dealer experience, they tried to put 4 quarts of 5W-30 last time in my 2003 Vector that takes 6 quarts of previously mentioned oil. Only my intervention and help from real SAAB mechanic prevented it from happening. Older 9-3 or 9-5 use 5W-30, I think, but our cars need 0W-30 or Mobil 1 0W-40 to prevent Turbo from oil starvation.
