An oil change at 5,000 miles is a great idea. You should probably change at 5,000 mile intervals for your first couple of oil changes, so SAAB semi-syn will be fine. Thereafter, if you want to stretch to 10,000 mile intervals you should use a fully synthetic oil like Mobil 1 or Amsoil. It will hold up better over longer intervals.
Mind you, if much of your driving is under "severe conditions" (most trips less than 10 miles especially in cold weather, extensive idling, towing, or excessive stop-and-go city traffic) you should stick with 5,000 mile intervals.
Besides tire rotation, there's not much else to do at the 5,000 mile mark... it's a good idea to rotate the tires this often in FWD cars..
