I had the Saab fluid analyzed, since I figured it was just a re-labeled gear oil of some kind. Wrong, according to the lab it is unique, at least from their experience. It has a peculiar smell, though not quite like gear oil, and is red like ATF--but isn't ATF.
Be prepared for a shock, however, as retail on the stuff is $13.40/qt., unless you buy from a dealer who'll discount it, like Camelback in Phoenix ($10/qt). Theoretically, you should be able to change and forget it, as Saab claims no service interval on it. I will probably change every 30k or so. To fill requires 1.9 quarts, plus one to flush out the old fossil oil, which it isn't compatible with. Again, follow the TSB's instructions.
What year-model car do you own?
