the bottom line is that everyone's situation will be a little different. Saab's are known to be tough on oil, and sludge producers, and as Swedecar mentioned, the low oil capacity isn't doing us any favors, in terms of heat, wear rate, etc.
Everyone needs to monitor there own situation, and factor in their geography, driving habits, the oil they use.. etc..
.. I think at the end of the day.. the right answer would probably be to drive the car 4-5k miles then send the oil out for an analysis to see how its holding up, to determine if it then makes sense to extend or shorten the change interval..
