Gearbox Oil?

My '97 Aero just rolled over 138K and I noticed a very slight gear whine in fifth on the highway under load. The gearbox feels and sounds fine otherwise but I've decided I want to change out the fluid.
I have an owners manual from '95 that says to use 10w30 or 10w40 non-synthetic engine oil which i found odd. I have also read a couple posts here that talked about how the was a change in '97 and they started recommending some kind of saab synthtic oil. My car is a late '97 so now I am not sure what to use. I usually run full synthetic engine and gear oil in all my vehicles (typically amsoil) which is what i was intending to do before I checked my manual.
So what kind of oil should I use??
