I have done 2 converts fron dino to amsoil. The one that was notchy. is less notchy. The one that was smooth as silk is smooth as silk. Amsoil is a bit notchier in the morning until the engine warms up (<5min). I am willing to accept this if it helps the pinion bearing. The lube should be changed at 30kmi anyway. The honda fluid may be another solution, but keep in mind that it is unproven in the Saab box over many miles. It was developed for the honda gearbox. It MAY give better shifts, but the honda boxes are transverse and do not have ring and pinion or a pinion bearing for that matter. my $0.02 is to protect the most fragile part with a proven solution (amsoil series 2000 20W50). I have had 0 leaks on the seals on my conversions. If the seals are weeping now, they will continue to weep at at least the rate they are currently weeping. If it si dry, it wil probably stay dry.
