I had a 2000 9-5 Aero which I put 280K miles on. I installed an oil pressure gauge when it was new.
If you're getting an oil pressure light sometimes it means that the oil pressure at idle is around 6 psi versus the 18-20 psi which is more normal. If the oil pressure light flickers on while you're driving it means that you only have 6 psi versus the 30-40 psi you should have. Saab's specs are 35 psi at 2000 RPM when the engine is fully warmed up.
There is an outside chance that you have a failing oil pressure switch which is not common. The installation of an oil pressure gauge is the only way to know whether it is that or something more ominous.
