Recommended gearbox oil for 2006 9-5 5 speed?

2006 9-5 (Aero) manual with 75,000 miles.
I had my trusted indie change out my gearbox oil last year at the 60,000 mile service at my request. I think he went with MTF 0063 on the refill and since then the gearbox has made a high pitch whining sound, like gear lash, especially when cold, less so when warm. Noise is dependent on wheel speed, clutch in or out. Really only heard when rolling down my hill with the window open, and there seems to be no performance issues relating to the noise.
I now have a 2008 9-5 Aero 5 speed with 52,000 miles and by comparison, there is no whining noise coming the transmission at any time.
The car goes in tomorrow for routine service and I want them to check the level and or replace the gearbox oil.
I did a search on the topic and there seems to be some confusion on what to use. So what is the latest wisdom on the recommended gearbox oil for the SAAB 9-5 manual transmission?
Many thanks in advance.
