I’m going to guess your mechanic is of the old school variety. He probably cut his teeth on GM Powerglide trannies, and still remembers the first time he saw a four-speed auto. I’ve heard several time from “back in the day” folks that if the tranny fluid hasn’t been changed in many, many miles, you’re better off not changing it at all. This is the only situation where your mechanics advise might have ANY relevance. However, since you got a Saab auto trans past 200k, I’m pretty sure that it’s been well maintained. So keep it up and see how long it lasts!
