...in which case I would flush with water (see Townsend site) and then fill with mercedes coolant (or G05)... as I understand it, the formulation is very similar to the G48 saab coolant (blue), but mercedes coolant is readily available, whereas the G48 may be becoming scarce... after seeing the damage prestone can do in a c900 I don't use it anymore and I converted both the c900s to merc coolant.
our 9-5 still has dexcool (2004 car)... so I'm leaving that alone...
prestone *should* be ok if you change it really frequently, but if you look at Townsend's site, he'll scare you off the stuff... I don't see how it should be much less problematic in a 9-5 engine than in a c900 or 9000...
(of course I wouldn't do any coolant this time of year around here - too damn cold!)
