Hello, I just picked up a 2007 V70 base and the coolant is a transparent, pale green.
I'm guessing that the original blue Volvo coolant (G-48?) was partially emptied and replaced with pale yellow G-05.
I know from this board that G-05 is a suitable substitute.
A sample didn't freeze in my freezer.
I'm seeking "votes" on what ONE COOLANT to go with.
CONFUSION: A guy told me Volvo has gone to a "green coolant for everything". Anybody know if that is true?
I have a gallon of Beck & Arnley replacement blue concentrate ($ in the bank, so to speak) and can easily get G-05 (available in perpetuity for maintenance).
I must go to Volvo to verify this "new green coolant".
