There has been a lot of discussions on oil filters. If you want, search the archives on oil filters.
I don't recommend 'any old oil filter'. It's only filtering the most important fluid in your engine, and a failed oil filter can take out an engine. Doesn't happen often, but the possiblity is there. At the same time, you don't need Gold Plated Ultra Filters with real Unobtainium.
Your best bet are Mann filters, as they are the Saab OEM filter. You can buy them mailorder by the case and they're not too bad. Seeing as the difference between a cheap and a good oil filter is about $2, that works out to about $50-$60 over 100K miles.
Check the archives. Use a decent filter.
