Xc60 2.0 ltr D4 anti freeze/coolant question

[CLIVERALLY]

Can anyone tell me what type of antifreeze this car uses.
It looks pink to me , but I was expecting to see green G48 like Comma Xtreem in there. Just bought the car and it was maintained by a main agent. I know the colour is irrelevant as manufacturers use differing dyes.

red is not volvo coolant ,
buy 4 litres of volvo coolant which is blue/green colour It will be very competitively priced and also never needs changing so you can't better it ..
proved by me in many different cars over the last 40 years ...

My 2010 XC 60 D3 is on its 9th-year-old this year 45000 miles and is still full of the original Volvo coolant supplied in the car new. Can I assume from what you say the coolant should still be perfectly ok and I have no need to worry about replacing it due to age?

yes as long as it is still bright and clean blue/green and clear .. 2010 was when they used a batch of cheap coolant in the factory for a few years , It went brown/yellow within a year although always protected down to -37 C ... I would think your has been replaced to the volvo parts dept coolant which has always been top quality .
