Dexcool is blamed for destruction of head and intake gaskets in the various engines it's used. My truck required an intake manifold gasket, reportedly due to the use of this coolant with gaskets made of incompatible materials.
Some gasket materials are said to be impervious to it, so hopefully Saab uses those.
I've also been cautioned to never mix the old style coolane (green stuff) with the Dexcool; that the coolants will gel, and eventually cause engine damage. The mechanic told me a switch from dexcool to the new stuff required a thorough flush to remove all traces of Dexcool before filling with other types of coolant.
