Is the current Saab ATF or Mobil ATF-3309 a synthetic?

In my last automatic transmission Saab (a 1997 9000CSE) I used Amsoil synthetic ATF, though I think the owners manual said not to. My daughter drives the car now. Except for a "transmission pump" replaced at 120,000 miles for a few hundred bucks (it was performing fine, but had that characteristic whine that varied with rpms) it has been trouble free and it is still performing flawlessly at 175,000 miles. Is the current Saab ATF or Mobil ATF-3309 a synthetic? If not, what is it about synthetic ATFs that Saab doesn't like?
Also, I think the auto transmission in the 9000 was made by ZF in Germany. The sticker on my 9-5 Arc said its auto transmission was made in Japan. Anyone know who makes it, and if the same transmission is used in any other cars here in the U.S.?
