In the 8 years I had Saab 900S's and was on the Saab lists, people
always recommended MERCEDES coolant for the 900's! There was something
in the MB stuff that protected the gaskets in the 1989-93 ones that had
a weakness (something in the alloy on the head and the SS had a bad
chemical reaction that resulted in many head gasket replacements.)
There were a few "Marshalls" on those lists and all said "synthetic in
the manual gearboxes and MB antifreeze."
Wonderful cars, those manual shift 900S's. I love them.

I put the Zerex G-05 in my Saab 900S (and a new t-stat) and am achieving
operating temperatures without overheating (unlike with the green stuff,
where it wouldn't go above cold).

I found this info in a response to a question I asked regarding which
coolant to use in my Saab 900. Most responses came back "use the green
stuff." But one guy sent this link. It recommends (at length) using
Mercedes
coolant. The recommendation comes from an experienced mechanic who works
on
imports. Judge for yourself upon reading.
