Now I start to doubt if Saab is actually using Dexcool or not (maybe another mix)?
What does it say in your owners manual?
In the latest shop manuals from Saab it states that it's ok to mix the old and new coolant BUT that that action will destroy the "lifetime" quality of the new coolant and turn it purple in color and that the car needs to have it flushed every 2 years thereafter if such mix is done.
GM (which trademarks Dexcool) states that NO mix whatsoever is allowed, and if a mix has occured the whole system has to be flushed.
But who am I to know?????
I still beleive in changing the fluids now and then.
