Re: 2006 S60 (P2) Fluid Specs

Pentosin CHF 202 and 11s are compatible, can be mixed. Also, for the few parts that I needed right away my Volvo dealer would match or come real close to the discounted prices on the Volvo parts web store. You just have to ask and act like you don’t need it that day. Lol
