Best Coolant 200 82T

posted by  someone claiming to be Lucas Friedrichsen on  Thu Jun 7 09:13 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi

I drive a turbocharged 240. One of my best Volvo buddies that I trust says he uses Volvo Type C coolant exclusively. I trust him lots, yet @ $14/gallon that is bit steep. Although I by far not cheap when it comes to my Volvo.

This board is most helpful in its great wisdom of the cars we love and drive!

What do you use/recommend?

Seeing as how I change coolant either yearly or every 1 1/2 years the Volvo coolant does not seem bad price.

Also, the Clymer manual recommends to hook up a garden hose to the heater hose and flush the cooling system. Have many done this and recommend it?

My engine is less than 15K miles old on the rebuild.

thanks as always

take care!

Luke
