One thing specific to these cars: Trionic ALWAYS loves new plugs, 'no difference' is a very, very poor bet to make at 30K regardless of plug metal.
That said, it's a matter of what the manufacturer wants to put out there, while 40 is defensible, it was 30 on the same plug in the years before and it's a totally legit question to pose.
As for oil, 'Don't know don't care' is fine, but it many people don't operate that way. It's a matter of choice. People are out there doing oil analysis and have hard numbers to back up their preferences, if they choose to deviate from the factory fill.
Beyond the oil wars, Saab changed the factory fill in later cars. The fact they sell full synth (albeit not free like the semi 5w-30) also says alot -- or at least says that using 'better oil' isn't just for the lunatic fringe.
