>>>I have heard conflicting advice on synth ATF. I have heard that the synth ATF CAN be too slippery with adverse effects on the clutches.
Well, I've been using AMSOIL synthetic ATF in my automatics, Saab and otherwise, since it was introduced probably 15+ years ago. Haven't had a problem yet. The fluids are tested against the requirements set by the OEMs, and surpass them all.
>>My dad has a couple of 9k autos and a good friend has another 9k auto. SHouldn't all the old fluid be pumped out before a change? It seems easier than a 3 qt change every week for a month...
Sure, changing all the fluid is better. When I bought my 9K auto, I provided the AMSOIL ATF and the shop changed it all over for me. However, in my other cars, I've just gone ahead and done it myself with the pan drains--I don't have to pay myself $60-70 per hour<g>. And, far as I know, there isn't a user friendly way to change it all in Saabs (unlike Volvos).
