Re: Do NOT use "green", Maybe Posted by JimBlake [Email] (#141) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JimBlake) on Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:41:29 In Reply to: Do NOT use "green", Use the proper collant, newwithasaab, Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:30:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If your dealer has Saab blue stuff, EXCELLENT. Last time I tried, no luck. Not shown on-line with eEuropart or TheSaabSite either. Maybe a phone call with a human at either of these places will get you Saab blue.
I believe Anders found out that Saab blue is G-48. Mercedes & VW have G-48 also, unless they have subsequently moved to Dexon. Colors are different, I think Mercedes G-48 is kinda pale gold.
Zerex G-05 (pale gold/yellow) has somehow become much more difficult to find around my location, YMMV...
Prestone green & maybe even WalMart house brand have been reformulated into hybrid OAT in the last year or 2. So it's a lot closer to G-05 than it used to be 5 years ago.
It seems the biggest problem is mixing with the residue from the last fill. A very complete rinse seems to be more important than the small differences between G-48, G-05, & other HOAT.
