PS Fluid

2004 XC70

My PS fluid is a little low, the manual says use ATF. The fluid in the resevoir is clear, is it ok to mix with ATF or do I need to figure out what the factory fluid used is?

Don't use ATF, the newer models like yours use the Pentosin CHF-11S.

Volvo or VW dealers both sell the stuff, as does NAPA.

ATF was not used after the '98 model year in Volvo cars.
