Saab recopmmend the use of mineral based gearbox oil in these transmissions. Do not use synthetic. In my 9000 Aero MY97 I have used Castrol VMX 80 to great effect and just very recently changed the oild (after approx. 60,000miles) with Mobile Mobilefluid 424 and added 125ml of Nulon G70. The Nulon G70 was recommended by a Saab tech who has been using it in his 9000 gearbox for sometime and really gave it a thumbs up. Check it out at, http://www.nulon.com.au Am very impressed. Gear changes are very slick and precise - even better than with the VMX 80 but this may be down to the Nulon G70. Note that my car is Maptuned to Stage 4. I also ONLY use Mobile 1 5W/50 in the engine and change this every 6000 - 8000 miles dependant on driving e.g. mainly highway/freeway versus city/suburban. I also change the oil filter every oil change as well.
