>I just bought my first Saab, what kind of oil do i put in the gearbox?>> On this ng you'll get approx 60% "Redline MTL" and 40% "Good mineral 10/30 or 10/40" (with or without additives like Milotec-1). There are adherants to both camps - Redline praising easier shifts, and mineral oil making a shaky case for a longer lasting box. I go with the 10/40 because even if the case is shaky, the prospect of shortening the life of the transmission and facing big bills makes me even more shaky. All this is documented at length and over several years in the Archives section of the Saab Net. Andy
