I like my CSE far too much to do many of these! >

As you say, non-orthodox... sounds as though you put your car through some extreme tests, like towing in tropical conditions. You have a '92 car, right?
But since you ask, I'd certainly never muck about with the oil and especially ATF specifications, and I can't see the sense in running at 82 degrees (or whatever) when Saab tells me 89. I'd rather make sure my radiator and all my hoses were in good nick, check all the fan wiring for corrosion, and replace the coolant every two years. Ditto other fluids, in which case the standard filters are surely fine.
Also, while I do have a foam air filter (ITG) I'd like to keep the intake run as it is, because I don't want dirt or water in there and I'm not sure any ram effect is needed.
However, I have to confess that I've had replaced/rebuilt both my auto transmission and head gasket so there may be sense in what you say!
