Hello All,
Dealer flushed coolant but did not add enough new coolant, so I’m topping up… Any suggestions for an auto store coolant that works well with the Volvo coolant? Thanks for thoughts.

I keep a gallon of Volvo antifreeze at home for emergency repairs, but a small top up can be done with distilled water. When I put an order in for stuff at FCP or eeuroparts, I stock up on light bulbs, oil filters, Pentosin 202, oil plug washers and what-not, for future maintenance.

Zerex G-05 is the current gold standard for non-Volvo coolants.

Dealer used GREEN coolant. Zerex G-05 is YELLOW I believe. Any suggestions for GREEN coolant for 2007 v70. Many thanks.
