    I’d bet you a steak dinner it is windshield washing fluid. Don’t freak there are worse things that could have been put in there.

    Flush it out and change your coolant immediately.

    heheh, i can only hope it is not wiper fluid i have been rolling with since september, i believe it is zerex g-05 blue. heading to napa auto to check it out.

    looks like green is the preferred coolant for the 3.1 with a stock radiator, good to hear, i need to find out if mine is stock or has aluminum core, just dont want corrosion.

    thank you

    Well, I guess it could actually be blue coolant. But let’s be real about it. First of all there are only a couple blue coolants. And they are not really commonly available, and are a little pricy. Also, the only blue coolant I know from Zerex is G-48, G-05 is yellow. So unless the previous owner broke down in front of a Saab dealership, and needed coolant, the chances are pretty good the blue stuff in your radiator isn’t Zerex coolant. Or maybe, the guy was a maintenance freak and heard all the bad stuff about Dexcool. Then and somehow concluded the best choice was a hard to get blue coolant not really intended to be used for his car.

    I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
