For some reason Saab has come out with a new fantastic fluid for the 6 speed transmission called AW-1. Saab part number 93165147.
I have not found any sources yet except the dealer carrying that fluid.
I can't say what's different with Saab's AF40 6 speed transmission compared to Volvo's TF80 6 speed transmission since they sure looks the same from the outside just like the 4 speed and later 5 speed Aisin Warner autos between the two brands looked just as similar and used the same fluid. 4 speed Dexron III, 5 speed 3309.
For some reason, Volvo have kept using the 3309 in their 6 speed TF80 transmission but I can't confirm if the Saab 6 speed AF40 would like that fluid so for now, I use the AW-1 in those Saab ones.
