I do not know of Saab's recommendation for coolant type. I'll wager it is to use their brand. However, I have used Texaco's "long life" coolant in my 86 900 base (245 k miles) for several years. I kept running through water pumps due to seal leakage. Long life antifreeze uses a different type of add pack consisting of organic acids. The traditional antifreeze has a high degree of dissolved solids that will turn crystalline and get between the water pump shaft and seal. It will damage the seal over time. Long life does not have high solids and extends pump seal life. I have not replaced a pump since switching. As soon as my 2000 93 is out of warranty, I will swith to long life. Maybe it is long life already. I recommend the stuff. By the way, it is toxic to animals, just like the green.
