Recommended grade: Volvo-approved pre-
mixed coolant. If concentrated coolant is
used, mix with 50% water of acceptable
quality (i.e. not salt water, etc.). Consult a
Volvo retailer if you have any questions.
To avoid deterioration of the cooling system,
engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo cool-
ant should be used.
Under normal driving conditions, the trans-
mission fluid will not need to be changed dur-
ing the transmission's service life. However,
it may need to be changed if the vehicle is
driven frequently in adverse driving condi-
tions.
The medium in the hydraulic brake system is
called brake fluid and is used to transfer brak-
ing force from e.g. pressure on the brake
pedal via a master brake cylinder to one or
more slave cylinders, which in turn act on a
mechanical brake.
Recommended grade: Volvo Original or simi-
lar fluid that meets a combination of Dot 4, 5.1
and ISO 4925 class 6.
