Hello,

What type/brand of antifreeze do you recommend putting in a 480?
Mine is a 2.0

Thanks. :D

Genuine Volvo.

It's no dearer than any other quality anti-freeze and lasts very well - and you know it's the right stuff for your engine!

I think I bought this from eBay, the concentrate (you can buy ready mix too) and it lasted aaaages. 50/50, coolant/water. :)
