Watch the oil you put in, I did my first at at a dealer, they put in 0W30 Saab branded oil which meets the GM LLA-025 spec, but it's very expensive, ($20-25/litre Cdn). I did my next oil change and put in Mobil1 0W40 which also meets the GM LLA-025 spec (at $7.50/litre, hard to find though), however Mobil1 0W30 does NOT meet the GM LLA-025 spec. My guess is that it probably won't do harm, but you don't ever want to get in a warranty dispute.
I change mine every 7500-8500kms to be safe, the issue isn't so much the oil, but the filter. Many will disagree, but it's a small price to pay as opposed to changing a turbo 5 years hence.
