Maintenance = Expensive = Help

I gotta admit that owning a Saab is quite an expensive proposition. Even the regular maintenance here in Canada cost an arm and a leg. Trying to save a few dollars in the current economic climate, I need some help on the following maintenance stuff that I think I can do myself.
I'm at 39000km and still haven't changed the Cabin Air Filter. Just changed the oil/filter yesterday. Where is the air filter and what do I need to change it? I know, the manual states 32000km, but the labour cost of the mechanic would kill me. I can't seem to find it underneath the hood. In the glove box? The air filter cost $60, unbelievable!
At 480000km, according to the manual, I've got some big ticket items. I can't remember exactly what my Saab dealer was charging, but I think it was $800 Cdn, around $500 Us .... ouch! I'm probably going to do this at 45000km.
From the manual:
oil/filter - I can do this
spark plugs - what do you guys/girls recommend looking at? which plugs are best?
engine air cleaner element - ??? where is this and how do you change this? manual is foggy on this topic
lubricate hinges, locks, doors - what lubricant does everyone use?
