9-3SS have two kinds of service, an "Intermediate", which is figured by an oil life monitoring system, an algorithm of starts,temps and other factors that contribute to the quality of the oil, but no actual measurement of the oil itself.
This intermediate service indictor is displayed in the SID with about 5% oil quality left, or a date expiration too. Typically this occurs around 15k (or 600 days) although I've seen as much as 18k for high mile drivers.
The second type of 9-3SS service is a "Main", which is triggered by miles only at 30, 60, 90k etc. This may or may not coincide with the intermediate service oil change.
Saab pays for everything scheduled up to 3/36 or essentially two Int and one Main. If you don't get up to 30k in 36 months you should have the service done anyway while Saab will still pay.
An Int includes: Check lights, check coolant, check steering fluid, check underside for damage and leaks, check brake pads, check tire pressure and wear, check and test battery, check washer fluid, change oil and filter, change cabin air filter, reset service indicators, road test.
A Main is: More checks, door locks, seat belts, air bags, exhaust system, shocks and bushings, drive boots, ball joint clearance and boots, fuel lines, brake lines, parking brake function, drive belts, not necessarily an oil change, change air cleaner at 30k, change spark plugs at 60k, change belt at 60k, finally change the auto trans fluid and the fuel filter at 90k
A brake fluid flush is scheduled every 48 months
