Saab: Saab anti-freeze

I just got a used 9000. I notice the manual says to only use genuine Saab
anti-freeze. I pretty much always figure this kind of statement is just a
way for the manufacturer to hook you on their overpriced products.

True in this case, or do I need Saab anti-freeze?

if it is BLUE, it is Saab coolant in it. This is G48. I would replace it
with this or G05 which is available at most parts houses (Zerex in a
bronze bottle labeled G05 for Daimler Chrysler/Ford). Regular green
coolant is not good enough for these engines. It leads to head gasket
deterioration and possible failure.
