I've used Mobil One since my 9-3 SE HOT left the dealer (with about 50 miles on the odo) and changed the oil at 1500 miles, 5000 miles, and 5000-mile intervals since. While it's only recently turned 30000 miles, I've never noticed any drop in the oil level between changes. I suggest you stick with the Saab filter and drain-plug gasket because if any warranty issues did come up, there would be a lot less finger-pointing.
By the way, I used Mobil 1 (at 5000 mile change intervals) in a 1983 Volvo 240 purchased new, and with only routine maintenance (valve adjustments, etc.), the engine went over 200,000 miles in the 18 years I had the car. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep the car from rusting away and finally donated it to charity. Good Luck!
