Thank you very much for the link.

So, I called up the dealer and asked how much they sell ATF power steering fluid. They quoted me $15.89 for a liter. Well, I haven't bought power steering fluid for a while, so I called up Kragen and they sell it for $1.59. My god, I am sooo pissed at dealers!

Ok, so I ask the dealer about the coolant. The owner's manual specifically states not to mix coolant types and says to top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze. The dealer wants $16.35 for a gallon. I asked what the off the shelf equivalent was and they said there isn't one. They say that it is a Type C coolant which only VW, Mercedes, and Volvo carry. Kragen said they have never heard of Type C coolant. Can anyone describe to me the difference between Volvo coolant and other types of coolant and if the dealer is feeding me a bunch of crap?

Thanks,

Todd
