Picked up '99 9-3 and have some questions

I purchased a 1999 9-3 base with leather and ~22700 miles - original warranty until August '02. The salesman at the Acura dealership is still looking for the owner's manual...so I have a few questions.
1. The "Check Engine" light came on during the drive home from the dealer. What do I need to do? Is it OK to drive the car? What likely needs "checking"?
2. The salesman is also looking for the remote entry clicker and second key. If these are not found, I assume a Saab dealer can supply them. How much should I expect to pay for the clicker? a duplicate key?
3. The automatic antenna is noisier than those I've had in other cars - a very noticable click-click-clicking from the left rear of the car when the radio is turned on/off. Is this normal or is the antenna motor about to fail?
4. Regarding the antenna - is there a non-motorized alternative that will mount in the existing postion and provide better reception?
5. I gather from the advice here that I should plan oil changes every 5000 miles and use Mobil 1 10-30 with the appropriate Saab or Delco filter. Do I have that right?
Thanks for your help.
