I can testify to the difference in using the yellow stuff. MB antifreeze seems to have a different formula than most other stuff. After a couple of years, (and a few coolant flushes, car originally had green stuff in it), I have noticed the engine running just a tad cooler. There doesn't seem to be odd coolant leaks that pop up either. Likely the red, (or was that orange?) 5 year prestone stuff is ok too, I used it religiously in my GTS Toyota for years with good success. Either way you are looking at 10 US dollars a gallon. I have never used Saab coolant, so I can't say whether it's good or not. dave 92 900S na Conv 93k miles and climbing fast
