2003+ takes an unusual filter, you may have trouble finding it. You don't just spin it off & throw it away? There's a replaceable element inside it?? (I don't own a 2003)
If you don't get the oil from a Saab dealer, make sure you use Mobil 1 0w-40. Hardly any oils meet the long-life spec that you need. Otherwise your remaining-oil-life display will be bogus. Six quarts. That's more than the typical 4quart oil capacity of most other cars.
Don't overtighten the drain plug. Clean it, the washer, & the surface where it sits, so it doesn't leak. New washers don't cost much. New oil pans cost a LOT.
