There is only one that is VOVO coolant , it is the best quality and best value on the market from your dealer a 4 litre bottle should do it diluted 50%-50% and you will not have to change it again .... what's your present coolant like?

The coolant in my car is a green colour. A little murky though.

murky is a bad word it should be crystal clear maybe the inside of the coolant bottle is dirty ,

Question is, is the current volvo coolant suitable for older engines? I know the coolant of years ago was thicker and oilier feeling than the current stuff. Tested mine on the volvo yesterday, still clear green and freezing point of -42oC according to my tester after 5 years in the engine. 2 cars and the caravan 1 top up fluid makes a lot of sence to me.
