I've been topping my reservoir with phosphate free
Peak Sierra 50/50 distilled mixture for a few months. [very slow leak]
I have my original coolant in the system. Sierra was recommended
by an indy volvo tech and IPD also.

My question is : I saw recent post that you should not mix the
green stuff with the orange stuff.[incompatable or something]
Should I not worry about this mixture or should I run out
and get OEM Volvo coolant for topping off?

Also, what is the BrickBoard member accepted coolant for our Volvo after
initial change? Someone said something about horror stories with Dexcool.
