2004 C70, need some fluid alternatives
I have a 2004 C70. Bought recently fairly inexpensively.
165K, but has been well maintained. Driver's leather seat worn, and a couple of interior lamps out, but timing belt and other stuff within 10K. new 17" Bridgestone tires, etc.
Runs excellent, shifts like a new one. Convertible top not functioning, but I bought it for the looks and the Volvo name (I have had three 240's, all went very hi mileage).
I only have one fob and key, so will be getting a new key from my local Volvo dealer by Spring. I will just live with one fob, and I just received a new fob case and have two cr2016 energizers on order, so will rebuild the fob, soon. it has a corner broken out, but the fob works fine.
I have ordered a new serpentine belt and tensioner (belt looks a little stressed), inspected timing belt, and it looks fine, but will replace next summer, along with all the hardware and water pump, maybe in 5K miles. Just replaced air filter (looked fairly new, but want to start fresh on maintenance), have a new cabin filter on order, and have a new oil filter for the next oil change. (it was changed in April, but only has 1200 miles on it).
The antifreeze looks clean, and brake fluid looks clean, but haven't checked auto trans fluid yet.
So, my question is, without using Volvo fluids, what antifreeze, oil, power steering fluid, and auto trans fluids do you guys recommend.?
