Maybe not contentious but...

I do have to disagree with using Prestone. Prestone is HIGH silicate coolant. Saab, along with a lot of other manufacturers, recommends LOW silicate type coolants. High silicate coolants cause abrasion as the silicates surface with coolant aging. Saab water pumps don't last all that long in most cases anyway - no need to rush them.
Saab Blue (G48, which is roughly G-05 but sold in bulk or OEM) is no longer available. You can get G05 as mentioned as Zerex, Mercedes, BMW, and some editions of Ford & Chrysler coolant. Car Quest stores carry many of those types.
As for GM/Saab green, the jury is out on what's actually in there. I think Prestone is the only one making green anymore, so I'm suspicious of what it really is.
