Manual Trans Oil .. Again

So I'm changing the Trans Oil on my 1993 900TC.
Searched the history and came up more confused than ever!
Is there a drain plug .. or do I take off the diff cover? New gasget obviously if it's the latter.
Now the hard question. My 84 900T went 250K on 10W30 without any transmission issues and that was the old smaller pinion bearing.
Lots of talk on here about other oils ... I hate expensive experiments!
I see eEurparts has Saab synthetic manual tranny oil ($15 a QT!) I know the fill on my 9-3SS Six speed was synthetic by transmission design so that was a must have .. they say it's good for the 900 as well.
Is it really proven that non Saab origional spec oils help transmission life? Obviously on engines randomly switching to synthetic is asking for trouble.
I'm in Calif so low temp viscosity isnt an issue.
