You use what the manual says. If Saab felt a synthetic was desireable they would recommend it. There are many aspects to transmission and engine oils. Using oils that are not recommended could lead to all kinds problems like softening, hardening, or dimensional changes in seals, chemical attacts on friction materials, bonds or other materials, changes in the coeffient of friction, unsuitable antiwear additives for gears and/or bearings. A transmission or engine is designed and tested to operate with a specific fluid, change to something else and you are doing the testing. Some aspects of synthetics may be better, but you don't know which are worse, (do you think they will tell you!) don't succumb to advertizing hype! There is a lot of money to be made in $2 to $5 oil
