Volvo coolant at a glance

Volvo products in this directory are made or sold by Volvo Cars. We list 1 of them, 1 car/light-vehicle. Listed chemistries: not published (1). Listed colours: not published (1). 0 of 1 state a service life, and 0 make a "free of" claim (for example silicate-free or nitrite-free).

These counts describe what Volvo publishes, not how good a product is. A product with no listed spec codes may still meet them. It means the manufacturer did not print them on the page we checked.

Chemistries Volvo lists

Chemistry is the inhibitor family that protects the metals in a cooling system. Here is what Volvo names across its products, with a short explanation of each family:

not published (1 product): The manufacturer does not name the inhibitor technology on the source we checked.

Two products in the same family are not always interchangeable, because additive levels and approvals differ. See OAT vs HOAT vs IAT and G11, G12, G13 and G48.

Specs and approvals Volvo lists

The Volvo sources we checked list no OEM or industry spec codes. That is common for genuine vehicle-maker coolants, which are identified by part number and specified by name in the owner's manual. Check the label or your manual for the exact designation.

How to choose a Volvo coolant

Find the spec in your owner's manual (or the label on the coolant reservoir cap). It may be a code such as WSS-M97B44-D, GMW 3420, MS-12106, TL 774-G or MB 325.0, or a named factory coolant.
Check whether Volvo lists that exact code. Use the table above, or type the code into Find my car coolant. Letter suffixes matter: TL 774-G is not TL 774-J.
Open the product page and read the wording. "Approved" is stronger than "meets or exceeds", and both are stronger than "recommended for vehicles requiring".
Choose premix or concentrate. Volvo lists 1 concentrate and 0 premix products here (some are sold both ways). Premix avoids mixing errors; concentrate must be diluted with distilled or deionised water. See premix vs concentrate.
Do not mix chemistries. If the system already holds a different coolant, check the mixing checker or flush first. See can you mix coolant?

Where to buy Volvo coolant

0 of 1 Volvo product pages here carry retailer links. These are the links Volvo itself shows on its product page, or its official parts store. Where a product has a verified Amazon listing we also show an Amazon link, which is an affiliate link (we may earn a commission). Other links are not affiliate links.

Compare with other coolant brands

Volvo is the genuine coolant line for Volvo vehicles. What Volvo specifies by model and year, with citations, is on the Volvo coolant page.

Brand matters less than the spec code. If Volvo does not list the code in your manual, check whether Zerex, Volkswagen, Arteco or Valvoline does, or search every product at once in Find my car coolant. The full list is in the coolant brands index.

When to see a mechanic

If you are not sure which coolant your vehicle needs, if the system has been topped up with an unknown coolant, or if you see overheating, coolant loss or a sweet smell, see a qualified mechanic or dealer. See coolant leaks.
