I see little incentive to switch to G-05. One of the problems with Dexcool trace back to air being introduced into an iron-block engine, causing a kind of brown sludge of iron oxide in the cooling system. Your Saab has an all aluminum engine and the type of overflow that doesn't draw in air. Other problems have been poorly design water pump impellors that erode in the absence of silicates. Your water pump is of excellent design and was designed around the use of dexcool.
Preventing water pump seal wear was a claimed advantage of dexcool, but I can't say it's true.
