Should I believe the manufacturer or some guy on the internet?
Initially it was 10k on semy-synthetic - and in some cases sludging happened. Saab has revised it to PCV6 and Grade IV full-synthetic - more than enough insurance agains sludging again.
So you want to switch oil every 3-4k - go ahead. By the time your car is at 300k you have wasted 60x$40 = $2400 on unnesessary oil changes - enough to buy 2 used engines. And 30+ hours spent replacing that oil will cover the installation labor.
