Yeah, it sounded weird to me too, since 1,500 K is 932 miles... but here's exactly what it says on the Saabklubben site:
"Always change the gearbox oil according to the manual, i. e. every 1500 kilometres - preferably even after less driving than that - if not, you may experience with free wheel malfunction. If you have a gear box filled with oil of dubious age, you can clean it by emptying the box, fill up with kerosene (or any thin paraffin oil), drive slowly a short distance, drain the box and fill up with new gear box oil which is changed at least twice."
On the other hand, my 1961 edition of Keith Ayling's "Saab Guide" book says the factory recommends changing the transmission fluid every 8,000 miles. That would be 12,875 km, so maybe the Swedes really DID mean 15,000 km and just made a yoops when typing their website...
... personally, I just change mine every time I change my oil. Geez, it only takes two quarts, why not do it often?
