The plug is removed with a 8mm hex allen wrench/socket. You can put the trans oil in here or there is a fill hole on the top of the trans. The "fill" hole (also a 8mm hex allen plug) is convinently blocked by the A/C lines, so it takes a little work to get to it. At the dealership where I work, we have a 35 gallon drum with a hand pump and a nozzle that fits in the "check" plug hole so we don't have to fool with the "fill" plug. Just add oil until it runs out the "check" hole (This assumes that the car is level!!!). The trans uses 10w-30w motor oil. Saab does have a synthetic trans oil that can be used in the trans. There is a PSI that details how to do this (you have to flush the trans). This synthetic has been used as standard fill since mid-1997 on the NG 900. You should not use synthetic motor oil.
