I thought my '02 Aero was filled with DexCool, but it's actually Zerex G48? Do I have that right? (It's orange, if that helps any.. the jug of SAAB orange coolant I bought doesn't identify the actual maker)
DexCool sounds like nasty stuff, if it starts attacking the plastic after 2 years. Holy smokes! I wouldn't want that in my car even for 2 months..
The manual in my car says the coolant is "lifetime", but flushing it every 2 years sounds good to me. I used to do annual coolant flushes in my '88 9000T, and never had a problem.
Did they comment at all on water pumps? This might not be applicable to Saabs, but some Subaru owners have reported failed water pumps when switching to non-Subaru coolant.
