This is really only applicable for the T7 SAABs, such as the 9-5 and the og9-3, but it could also apply to ng900s and 9000s...although they are less prone to screen clogging on the oil pickup tube.
This is what my bosses fit to their own personal cars, it is a modified oil pan. If has a hole cut in it and a heavy plate with an access hole welded in place. There is a replaceable O-ring in there I believe, which keeps it all sealed up.
I think these run around $250 w/ exchange of oil your oil pan, + install. In my opinion a modification like this would be a great idea for anyone with a T7 motor to ensure a long running life. It makes is possible to use the stock "fine" screen and clean it at regular intervals to keep the crap out of your motor. Much,. much easier than dropping the oil pan!
