My 2006 9-5 recently started losing power steering fluid due to a design fault that allowed the high pressure hose to touch an unrelated bracket and cause wear and a leak.
I learned that SAABs require synthetic based fluid at $20 a quart. Was told that had I topped off the reservoir prior to the repair with even regular ps fluid, I would have damaged the rack or pump. High side pressure is something like 1800 psi.
