Gearbox oil for the 9000 has been a sensitive issue on the board over the years, with many people expressing concern about using synthetic based fluid. Redline MT-85 is the right viscosity and should be a good choice, but based on what I've read personally I would error on the side of caution and stick with a non-synthetic 10W-30 motor oil. Many transmissions have made it over 300k on this. I know it's all anecdotal, so perhaps do a search on the board and make your own conclusion. Saab also used a synthetic fluid on later cars that should be used if you car came with it, or you could consider using it on an older car if you do a few change outs to remove as much of the original oil as possible.
