You could stay with dino, or switch, with no problems. Let the climate you live in dictate the viscosity, and I'd stick within Saab's recommmendation range unless you have good reason to do otherwise (e.g. I went down to 0W-30 synthetic for the Alaskan winter).
Oil is like religion, but it seems that many combinations work with no ill effect. Trannies blow, head gaskets go, and motor mounts rip 'n tear, but the engines keep running. Unless you do something odd (like 30W oil for a lawnmower), you'll be fine.
