Yes, according to Stephen Goldberger from NINES, the factory fill in 9-5s is a 0W-40 oil similar to, but not exactly the same as, Mobil 1 synthetic.
Then afterwards, the oil dealers provide (or are supposed to provide) is a semi-synthetic 5W-30.
IMO the "European Car Formula" 0W-40 grade of Mobil 1 is the best for most people, but you'll likely be fine with 0W-30, 5W-30, or 10W-30. Use 15W-50 for hot climates, racing, or towing.
Startup clatter can be due to the brand of oil filter--if you're not using the genuine SAAB oil filter p/n #9144445, try using that next time and see if it helps.
