The main complaint with Fram filters that I have heard of is the crappy check valve in the filter. What happens is the oil drains back to the pan and doesn't stay in the upper end of the engine. Causing a tick noise at first cold start up, that goes away as oil pressure is built.
Not sure if this would be a problem on saabs though as the filter is mounted so low on the engine anyway. But it has been noticable on my Jeep in the past.
Personally, for the cost difference (none) I wouldn't run a Fram filter. There are better one's out there for the same cost. The ACDelco filter is great and can be found almost anywhere. I have also heard that the AC# PF-13 is a direct replacement filter but is larger, giving more media for filtration as well as a bit more capacity. Haven't tried one yet though.
