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 ,

I'm looking at this and thinking could I use volvo coolant in the landrover? At present use the blue 2 year antifreeze as it's too old to use 5 year oat which will eat the seals.
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.

yes a good idea , it's suitable for all volvo engines from the fully cast iron B20 to the cast iron block alloy head renault and volvo engines to the current fully alloy volvo engines and I have been using it in my own cars since the 1970's , everything stays clean inside the cooling system . My 1988 volvo 340 still has it's original green coolant . see if you can get some distilled water to dilute it if you live in a hard water area .
