I will *never* use the official Volvo coolant again. I did, and it ate the brand new lead solder out of a repaired radiator within a month.

The coolant from dealerships is not the same as was intended for our cars and is not compatible with lead solders.

The aluminum radiators are far superior to the old brass/copper, and hold quite a lot less in volume. I would guess we're talking a drop of over 2 liters from just the change.
