Search PCV, you'll find plenty of posts.
Basically, the 2.3 has some inherent crankcase ventilation issues, that took SAAB a while to straighten out. By fix #6, they apparently got it right, but this wasn't until the 2004 model year (I hope I have that's right, if 2005, someone will correct me).
If you're looking at 2003 or newer, to be safe, it should have the #6 upgrade.
A lot of people get by without it, but unfortunately, if you don't have it, it can contribute to sludge problems or oil leakage.
It's a DIY, but not necessarily easy.
