98 NA V70 V70-XC70 1998

Some people seem to think you should use ONLY Volvo coolant.

Others will say Prestone's "mix with any color" is OK.

I changed my radiator and heater core last October (98 S70 170K). The PO had used the Prestone coolant. I also used the Prestone to fill the system after I was done.

I am now beginning to catch a whiff of coolant in the AC every once in a while as if there is another core leak. I am not a chemist or an engineer, but it does make me wonder if the coolant has anything to do with it. I am tempted to spend the extra money on the Volvo coolant in the future - just in case.

My daughter will be using this car also when she gets her license.

Good luck,

Calvin
