Use NGK BCPR6ES11's gapped to .035 to .039. Change once a year, depends on miles etc. Saab now has a full synthetic Saab branded oil which will be fine. Saab oil filters are good. Purolator PureOne filters are better.

Use a full synthetic oil, Mobil 0W40 or 10W30. Don't use Castrol FakeTek(tm) reworked dyno oil.

Your vehicle is quite new, don't worry about things too much. I would check the engine air filter myself to see whats in there. If its quite clean, you know that someone has keep their eye on things. You might find a K&N filter, if so, get a K&N cleaner kit and service it yourself.

Use a bottle of Techron Concentrate 2 or 3 times per year. Add distilled water to the battery 2 or 3 times per year.

Check the oil. Should smell right and will have the smell of fuel as well, thats normal. Put some on a white paper towel and note the color. There should be no signs of solids or murkyness. Used oil when drained should be clear, but with the color density of maple syrup. Know what engine oil smells like, something that comes with changing your own.

Talk to the dealer and find out what they use and charge and bring your own if you wish.

Many remove and wash the oem cabin air filter. It will last for years and years if you are careful. A jet of water will tease the polypropelene blanket filter element, so be gentle. It does not need to be snow white and remaining larger pieces of stuff do no harm and can be considered new filter media.
