Life Span of Unused Volvo Coolant S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Lara's Uncle on  Wed Dec 1 04:25 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi there. I bought Volvo coolant 2 years ago for the flush and refill of my 2000 S70's radiator. Since the coolant was to be 50/50 (coolant/water), I have about half a bottle of unused, 2 year old coolant left (capped, never diluted, still in the original bottle).

Can I use this 2 year old coolant for my upcoming flush and refill without worry about a decline in its performance (tolerance to cold)?

If I have less than 1/2 a bottle and need additional coolant, can I combine this older coolant with some new Volvo coolant (that I will buy now)?

Thanks for your assistance.

Lara's Uncle
