"Conclusions: if you have a brass/solder radiator, don't use Dexcool. If you have an all-aluminum Volvo engine, don't use Dexcool. Aside from these two exceptions, it works great."

Since the heater core is brass and solder I think this means not to use Dexcool in any Volvo.

My heater core started leaking badly last winter. I'll bet it was the Dexcool.
