That number is a measure of how used up the oil is. Not a measure of oil level, but a measure of how much the oil has suffered from use. But you still have the responsibiltiy to check the oil level yourself.
It is a good idea to change the oil before this on a new engine. The extended oil changes will typically avoid engine failure during the warranty period, but are not optimal for engine life in the long haul.
Read your owners manual. You must use the oil or oil grade specified by Saab. And you may not be able to find oil filters at locations other than the dealers.
That oil % meter is based on the assumption that you are using the proper oil. With an inferior oil, damaging wear could result before you get to 100%.
I don't know if that vehicle comes with a free dealer oil change/inspection. Others may post on that, and read the stuff in the glove box too.
