For my Volvo S80, over the years I use Total Coolant and works fine. You can get from most Total Filling Stations. It is pre-mixed so no need to add water. 1 Like |

sholatech: If the coolant colour in your engine is clear, then its probably water. You can drain and go with total coolant. |

orthodontist: Ok, Prestone and LongLife Concentrate Antifreeze/Coolant is usually the original stuff for volovs. The cool thing is that they are compatible with ANY antifreeze/coolant, regardless of color for use in all volvo models. NOTE: That's I they are compatible does not mean they should be mixed. It must be one type of coolant in your engine at anytime. |

tallboo: If you don't find it in auto-shops near you then you wld need to import. Meanwhile, TOTAL brand of coolant will server just as good and can be found in TOTAL filling stations. |
