60 %.
Protection against freezing
down to:
-25ºC
-30ºC
-38ºC
-46ºC

Volvo Coolant VCS shall not
be used with a coolant filter.
Note!
–46 °C is the maximum freezing
point depression. Increasing the
concentration above this depletes the
frost protection.
Note!
Mixing with other types of
concentrated coolant can result in
inferior anti-corrosive properties
resulting in damage to the engine.
The system must be flushed
carefully during coolant
replacement.
The table shows the approximate
quantity of concentrated antifreeze
required for frost protection to the
stated
temperature.
