I called the dealer and ask for tranny fluid, he said that they are using Dexron VI now. Should I got with that? I know people used Dexron III before.

Sorry can't help on the fluids but I hard a funny story about the Name Dextrol VI

The current Dextrol was Dextrol 3 or III in Latin.
After the update they were going to call it Dextrol 4 or IV in Latin.
When they launched it they printed labels incorrectly with the I on the wrong side of the V so VI ( 6) instead of IV (4). Instead of admitting they made a sinple printing error they renamed the product Dextrol VI....

No idea if it is true, but it is funny.... practical but funny.

I was wondering why they went from 3 straight to 6. Then again, there is no WD-1. I have nothing to tell you that Dexron 6 is ok in your Saab, but nothing significant changed internally in most GM trannys when they went with the 6. Should be ok.
