You are seeking an appropriate viscosity grade and performance specification. Mass marketers produce a wide range of each, all with the same brand name.
The most recent Saab specification is ACEA A3/B3, with 0W, 5W, or 10W viscosity rating (the A3/B3 takes care of the upper number). If your 900 is a Turbo model, I would use that specification. If it is a non-turbo, then you may safely relax to the latest API SL specification, provided you don't try to extend the change interval, and 10W40 would be fine.
