Thanks everyone for your input.
I was wondering if Valvoline SynPower ws OK to use in my 1991 9000 CD power steer system. The local SAAB Service Manager abused me for using it top my reservoir following a small leak in the hose then went on & on about me driving 3km (1.5 miles) to him without a vee belt saying that I would wreck the power steering and alternator apart from overheating the engine (it never reached red on the temp gauge!). Are SAABs that piss weak that they have to be towed when the belt goes?
By the way apart from charging me $200 as mentioned before, he also replaced the tensioner and tensioner pulley (for the second time around in less than 2 months!!) just because they got some of the official SAAB power steer fluid on them. Despite my protests that the pulley bearing is a sealed one, this ripoff dude replaced it anyway. To top it all off, my father's 1995 900i was serviced by the same company for a 90,000km service. Apart from the usual oil change & grease & spark plugs thety charged him $34 for a rear window wiper blade - must be gold plated and painted black or something.
Once again, thanks everyone for all your assistance.
