7 qts of Mobil 0W-40 at 4.49/qt = $31.43;
plus a filter element (Purolator L15436 or AC Delco PF456G) = $6;
for a parts total of just under $38.
Of course the dealer gets his parts at a discount, so let's say $30 in parts cost. That means the dealer got $35 in labor or about 1/2 hour at normal shop rates. That is not too bad for not having to get dirty.
However, an oil change is pretty easy to yourself. Search the web for information on changing the oil filter element on a Saturn or Chevy Cavalier with the 2.2L Ecotec engine. There should be information that is relevent to your Saab oil flter as the Saab 2.0L is deived from the Ecotec engine. The following link has some information on the oil filter.
