I can't answer all of your questions, but here goes.
- the antenna is noisey. atleast every saab I have been in is the same. click, click, click. I haven't tried it myself, but a little greese/lube on the mast may quiet it a little.
- Oil changes. Should be the standard 3000 miles. OE filters are the best choice. Mobil 1 (or other high quality full synthetics) are the choice for longevity in a turbo charged car. Turbo's generate tremendous heat, which can break down "traditional" oils. This ofcourse can lead to poor lubrication as the "traditional" oils "cokes" up. (turns into nasty sticky tar like stuff). It just an added measure of protection to use synthetics.
check engine light.... not sure could have been an automated service light that came on after reaching a certain milage? not sure on that one.
