From my experience, I would not bother with the newer Saab oil -- it is hellishly expensive and I got results with my 1999 93 that were great using Redline MTL. There are other places on this board that give the procedure, but basically, you:
1.) Drive around to warm up the oil;
2.) Check and make sure that you can open all three drains/vents before draining.
3.) Drain the oil (remove the top fill hole to avoid gurgling)
4.) Fill with regular, el cheapo 10W-40, drive around for about 5 miles.
5.) Drain the 10W-40.
6.) Fill with Redline MTL.
My tranny shifted a lot better after I did this -- it was a shame that I waited until 2 weeks before selling the car to my son before I did it!
He's enjoying the benefits and it's still shifting great at 138000.
