Bought '01 Aero - Please Help

I bought a '01 Aero today. This is my third Saab. I also have a 97 9000 CSE. I have some questions, please.
The car has about 30k and assume it has the original auto trans fluid. I want to change it. The manual says to use Texaco Dexron III.
Can't I use any brand of Dexron III?
Also, do most people just get a flush at Valvoline or do they change the filter?
The serpentine belts last about 60K?
I assume that you have to remove the fender liner to change, correct?
How can you even inspect with all the plastic?
Is there anything on the suspension that needs to be routinely tightened?
The body/paint are excellent except for some hairline cracks on the rear of the roof where the quarter panels are attached.
Should I ask Saab to fix this?
The car is still under the original warranty until next December.
Is there anything else that I should have the dealer check while the car is under covered?
The selling dealer (not a Saab dealer) wanted to sell me a 5 year 60K extended warranty for $1800. Is this necessary? My 9000 has been reliable, (but my 900 was a money pit).
Thanks,
Charles
