Genuine Coolant? V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Doug M on  Tue Apr 4 05:26 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Good day

I seem to have a small leak somewhere in the coolant system (coolant light on, some liquid under car).

I was going to top up the fluid level until I can get it in to get looked at, but in the owner's manual it says use only 'genuine' Volvo coolant.

Is there a danger in toping it up with, or taking it to a service shop that uses, non-Volvo coolant?

Thanks,
Doug
