I'm pretty sure all 9-5s use Pentosin CHF11S, it should be written somewhere in your manual.
I'd be a bit surprised if Canadian-spec 9-5s use something different; on the can itself it says "Range of operation: -40'C to 130'C, especially recommended for countries of cold climate"
Furthermore, it says, "VERY IMPORTANT! Pentosin CHF11S should not be mixed with Pentosin CHF 7.1 or any other hydraulic oil"
I don't know the effects of mixing in other power steering fluids, other than posts elsewhere saying that certain Audi owners "have found out the hard way".
Apparently, certain Audis, BMWs, and Porsches use this stuff too.
Check your manual and if it says CHF11S, I'd have the system flushed just to be safe...
On the NG900 board it is written that SAAB switched around 1997 and sometimes this fluid is referred to as “Saab Power Steering Fluid 4634”.
