Overall, sound like normal... It is OK to take a second or two for the oil pressure to go up when first starting. Saab engines can be a little noisy when first started in am. Should go away in a minute or two. Someone actually described the noise as being similar to a diesel engine. If you are really worried do the following: 1) check oil pressure with a gauge. An idiot light will only indicate a problem when the oil pressure is significantly less than "normal pressure at idle". Thus, one could have low pressure, just not low enough for the light to come on. In general, Saab oil pumps are very reliable. 2) Use a high quality oil filter to minimize draining. Not as much of an issue since the filter is in a position that tends to keep it full, but still important.
