why volvo coolant S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Lara's Uncle on  Wed Dec 1 15:46 CST 2004 [RELATED]

In my (brief) experience as a Volvo owner, I have heard that NON-Volvo coolants possess compounds that will deteoriate the Volvo radiator (this may not be the case in cars other than Volvos...I have have used Prestone and others in different vehicles with no problem). So, I err on the side of caution. It's pay a little more now or, potentially, a lot more later.

In regards to your question about how I can use half a bottle for the refill...Volvo recommends a 50/50 mix (water and coolant) and the reservoir only holds enough for half a bottle of coolant (since the other half will then consist of water). Does that make sense?

Thanks for your help.
