Based on all the posts over the years regarding the recomendations to use only Volvo Blue coolant, I decided last fall to change over. Went to my local Volvo dealer and bought 2 gallons of Volvo coolant. Performed two complete flushes, changed the rad cap to green type, replaced the thermostat and then filled to a mixture of 75%. Lately I've been loosing about an ounce of coolant a week and realized the Volvo coolant is green in color during one of the top off process. (I think I have a leaking head gasket... LOTS of pressure in system with a cold engine when I take the rad cap off.) Looking at the bottle didn't reveal if it was type C or not. It just states, as does the dealer who sold it that it is good for ALL volvo engines.

Thanks,

1992 960 with a 1995 engine at 138,000 miles.
