Uhhhh, stupid question (re: PS fluid)

I took my '99 9-3 to a mechanic this afternoon, he helped do the coolant flush on the 9-3. I supplied coolant, he supplied the shop, 10 bucks. What a deal! Then he offered to change the PS fluid for me (I had mentioned that was the last thing to do for the 60k. Anyway, he sucks the old fluid out, puts new fluid in, no charge (I gave him 5 more bucks anyway). He used a Castrol GT fluid, just as he pulled the bottles out I said "Uh, I think there's a special fluid that's recommended for Saabs", but on the label it says 'recommended for the following applications... Saab (Part No. 45-30 09-800). It was made in Canada. It also says "not for sale outside North America". Anyone see a problem using this fluid? I didn't say anything to the guy since he was helping me out (and is recommended on this board), but now I'm a little worried. Any help out there? Thanks.
