'03 Aero Wagon, 50k mi. Fluid looked dark at a recent inspection, so I was going to do the drain/flush thing. My buddy drives a Toyota truck and was headed to the dealer. I asked him if he'd pick me up some Type IV ATF. He said "why?" I told him I was planning to refill, and he said "NOOOOO!" Related stories of how both he and his dad had drained/filled ATF thinking they were doing good preventative maintenance, and shortly thereafter had tranny failures. Both non Saabs. He said "if it ain't broke, don't f w/ it."
Scared me enough to sit tight for a bit...
