Your engine isn't concerned with the look of the oil.
It does get dark pretty quick.
But it may care about the additive package that's in it and I'm not positive 10W30 or 5W30 satisfies Saab requirements but I may be mistaken.
0W40 was factory fill I think when the last OG9-3 rolled off the line.
Collect a sample and send it for analysis at your next change if you want to know for sure. Blackstone Labs and a few others places you can find here, will send you a sample 'kit', total cost <$25.
Not alot of good words about Fram filters here, no firsthand knowledge from me.
