I had the same problem.. My choices were:
Just use the semi-synetic Saab oil and filter, which is supposily very good (of course, the opinions here are biased) for ALL oil changes. This seems to be the most cost effective, as the free oil changes (10k, 20k, 30k) come with it.
Forget the factory oil and filter, and go Mobile 1 for oil and filter for all oil change. (5K, 15K, 25K myself), and bring the mobile 1 oil+filter to Saab dealership (no discounts) for the freebie. (And possibly get snickered at by the mechanic)
Compromise and use mobile 1 for my own oil changes, and use Saab oil+filter for the freebie.
I don't like the last option, as I lose the best protection every 5K miles, and I'm not comfortable with mixing Saab and mobile 1 oil.
The cost isn't that much as its an extra $30 at most (if you buy oil under $4 a quart), and that last for 6 months for most people. Assuming Saab oil+filter is ~$25 after taxes, and Mobile 1 is $40, thats $40+15 =
$55 extra a year extra to go 100% mobile 1. Thats not bad for a little peace of mind. (I'm expecting to drive over 15K miles/year at the minimum though, so my cost will be higher..)
