Mobil 1, Amsoil, and Castrol Syntech are all fine.
I use the ones labeled ACEA A3/B3 (see back of bottle) which are European standards and the type needed in the newer Saabs like the 9-5. The US ratings are the API ratings and you want to be an SL or SM grade.
I switched my '96 9000 CSE to synthetic when I bought it at 90K miles and my daughter's '95 9000 CS to syn when we got it at 138K. Neither leaks or uses any oil at 148K and 154K respectively. Change it every 5K or so.
I use Mann filters but the Purolator Pure One is also fine.
Lots of opinions on oil here, though.
