I use Blackstone labs, another I believe is BITOG.
I send in a sample from every other change, ~$20, allows me to remain comfortable with my OC interval (5K miles).
On an older new-to-you it will alert you to what's in your oil: coolant, water, fuel, various engine metals, additives etc.
I've had an unexpected 7K+ interval plus some 5K+ as well as a few ~4K, and can see that beyond 5K wear metals jump but the increase is constant up to 5K so I keep my OC interval there.
Good oil after 5K tells a good story about your engine!
Plus it's one more way to amaze others how obsessive you are about your Saab.
Blackstone sent a sample kit free (as others I'm sure), it's <$2 to mail oil back iirc.
