On the Saab 2.0T, 2004 and up, the oil filter is located on the left hand side, just below the side of the intake manifold. It uses a paper and plastic supported cartridge, not a spin on cannister filter as most vehicles do. You must start by removing the black plastic shield that extends towards the front of the vehicle that covers the intake manifold. It is attached to the valve cover with three torx screws . When you remove this you will see a round black plastic cover, about 3 inches in diameter on the left side, just below the corner of the intake manifold with what appears to be a large hex nut in the center on the top and hex shaped on the outside diameter of the cover. This cover requires a 67MM oil filter wrench, available at any decent auto parts supply house. I don't suggest using the hex nut in the center as it seems to stress the plastic cover. Use the aforementioned 67MM oil filter wrench. Be sure to keep it square with the surface of the oil filter cover. I found mine to be difficult to remove the first time. Fram makes the cartridge, however you will more than likely want to purchase an Oring for the cover and drain plug seal when you change the oil. They are not supplied with the cartridge. Be sure to lubricate the Oring once installed on the cover with clean oil. Be sure to run FULL SYNTHETIC OIL! I have an earlier 93 and they tend to get carbon and sludge and it plugs up the oil pump pick up when it winds up in the oil pan if you use semi-synthetic oils. I would also limit the intervals between changes to no more than 3500 miles, regardless of what the factory suggests. The 2004 and up 2.0T also uses 6.5 quarts of oil! Not four like the previous 2.0 and 2.3 that uses 4.1 quarts.
