Saab dealer recommends "Synchro-Shift"

I have 98 CSE. I drainned the original Tranmission oil (at 125,000 miles) and replaced it with "SynchroShift" as per suggestion by my local Saab dealer (you can find it via google). This is a synthetic gear oil. I think the "no synthetic oil" warning applies to synthetic motor oil.
My CSE has been running with the Synchroshift for several thousand miles. The shifting is improved (now its perfect) since the switch. I was advised to do a synchroshift purge, (drain original oil, add synchroshift, drive for ~500 miles, drain, replace with new synchroshift). I did this. Beware, the stuff was ~$30/quart from Saab. You can get it for $18/quart online.
