Service and oil

My 2004 9-3L has come off of warranty and the 3 year service agreement and now I need to be more thrifty. The computer tells me when to get the oil changed and I've followed its recommendation since I've owned the car (new). I understand it uses synthetic (100%) oil but I still feel a bit uneasy about going so long between oil changes. Keep in mind, I get around 23 mpg city and over 35 mpg highway. I'm in the KC metro area and there are only two Saab service providers--both dealers--that I'm aware of. Question: should I continue to change the oil as the computer recommends or should I change it more frequently? And, I think I have to stick with dealers as there are no Saab independent mechanics that I'm aware of. What do you think? (I've read some threads about oil changes but none of them mentioned the computer/"infotainment" aspect.)
