The power steering fluid in my 2002 XC70 is leaking/seeping a bit and came across this old thread. Does anyone know why Volvo's specification to use ATF is wrong? If ATF is what Volvo has in their manual, wouldn't that be what they shipped in the cars when new? Why is CHF-11S so special?
I added a small amount of ATF (Castrol Import ATF) to get into the min/max range. I can't imagine couple ounces will make a difference.
