"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"


That statement shows that the jury is still out on Volvo vs Non-Volvo coolant. I flushed mine and used the expensive Volvo stuff. I'd rather be penny-wise than dollar foolish 'cause I just don't know.
