I'm glad I posted my issue now as I've learned a lot of facts from everybody. Thank you.

Very interesting that USA cars and owners manuals have and recommended red ATF fluid.

My brother checked and he says Volvo S80 mk1 part numbers for steering rack, pump, hoses and ancillaries all list same part numbers Europe, Asia, USA and Middle East regardless of red power steering fluid or green. It appears the components are designed for either depending on region and perhaps climate vehicle sold?

Still, I'm fairly certain from you guys the red ATF fluid and green CHF 11 S fluid don't mix so will be flushed and renewed next week.

Thanks again everyone.
