There's a detailed saabnet writeup linked below that mentions an oil thermostat spring and valve located at "the bottom of the timing cover". This is on a '94 9000 Aero.
You can find the quote by looking for the word "spring". It reads, "I removed the 17mm bolt from the bottom of the timing cover and pulled out the oil thermostat spring and valve. I cleaned them all liberally with brake part cleaner and reassembled. I also cleaned the inside of the oil pump housing with brake cleaner, being extra careful to remove any contaminants."
The makes no sense to me. Maybe I don't understand the writer's designation of the oil thermostat's location.
