Steering: V70 D5 SE 2004 Steering Fluid

[Jigginjim]

Im about to replace my steering pump with a reconditioned unit from Steering Services and wanted to ask forum members about the steering fluid. Is there any difference between the genuine volvo green fluid and the Febi green mineral fluid? -

I see both are mineral oil and can cope with the temperature change so all seals should be fine.

Thoughts??

Cheers

Same here.

Pay £14 and know the job is done right. Pay £12.99 and not know whether the fluid is suitable or even genuine Febi.
