Hello,
My 04 Saab 9-3 has been a great car. Last spring, I decided that I'd change the MT fluid. It was tough, since the drain plug is covered by a suspension member (good luck getting it out). As a result, I used my liqivac to remove, then a fluid pump to refill. It took about 1.5L to refill, as claimed in the directions, shown here:
http://www.genuinesaab.com/psi/files/93-95man-oil.htm
The fluid is MTF 0063. It is a different fluid than the older synthetic manual transmission fluid that was used in older saabs. I am not sure if this fluid supercedes the older synthetic fluids, but it is what is used in my 9-3.
Anyway, the first column is virgin, the second column is used with 32786 miles.
