I have read many things about coolant for the 9-5 on several forums but get conflicting facts and/or opinions.
What is the factory fill for the different model years? Some say not to use Dexcool, others say it is fine if you flush it every few years. Some manufacturers say it is life-time coolant and never needs to be changed. Some say Zerex G05 (Mercedes coolant) is best to put in the 9-5. Saab never specified this for the
Can you switch from one to another type of coolant? My 2004 with 60K miles has green coolant, I don't know if it is the factory fill or if it has been changed. The coolant tank appears to be stained orange. Is going from green to orange (Dexcool) ok? Flushing with distilled water seems to be a good idea regardless of any coolant type change.
