    Service - Coolant

    Last full service was last year on 92,000 miles. I'm now on 102,000 and is due a service. I'm going to be doing it myself.

    I've already got Motul 8100 Eco-Energy 5W-30 6 litres, NGK Spark plugs, Volvo AOC Oil and Filter kit, 2x Red Line 75W140 NS GL-5 for diffs, Red Line MT-90 75W90 for gearbox, fuel filter, oil filter.

    Will "Motul Inugel Optimal Car Antifreeze / Coolant - Ready To Use" be ok for S60R? I've used this on previous cars.

    While I'm at it, i've also ordered:

    -Volvo Steering Rack Stop 18.7mm

    -Volvo Performance Torque Mount Bushing Round (S60 S70 V70 S80) - Pro Parts Sweden 8649597

    -Volvo Strut Brace Mount (S60 V70 XC70 S80 XC90) - Pro Parts 8666204

    -Volvo Engine Torque Rod (Urethane Upgrade) - Pro Parts Sweden 30680750

    I know i'll get more vibration but that doesn't bother me. My EP3 CTR had upgrated engine mounts and it only use to vibrate on idle but it made a hugh difference.

    I would only use oe coolant with distilled water, 50/50 mix.

    You'll never get 100% of the oe fluid out, so you'll end up mixing antifreeze, which is not ideal.
    This is the only reason I will only recommend OE antifreeze.
