Question What fluids/oils should I use?

Hello community!

I am planning to replace various fluids in my car and would like to get input on what to use. I am sure this has been posted here before, but I could not find all the answeres.

My car is a 2011 s40 D3 (D5204T5) with TF-80SC transmission.
  • antifreeze (coolant)
  • automatic transmission fluid
  • power steering fluid

Here is where I stand:
- The manual has no information on what kind of antifreeze to use, so I really do not know what to get.
- The automatic transmission fluid has to be rated AW1, however this is an older classification and I am having trouble finding it's equivalent on today's market (except for a few, mostly unknown brands). Also, I can not find the part number for the filter, does anyone know it
- The power steering fluid is rather similar. It should be rated WSS M2C204-A, but again, finding this is rather difficult.

Of course I know there is still the option of getting the fluids from a Volvo dealer, however there may be better and/or cheaper alternatives.

Thank you in advance!
