Most Volvo models use DOT 3 brake fluid as original equipment, however we prefer to use a 
DOT 4 fluid to get the best performance and longevity.
Ate is the original supplier for many Volvo brake parts and their fluid is unsurpassed. If you’re thinking of replacing your brake lines or pads or just want to get better performance out of your stock brake system Ate TYP 200 DOT 4 is a great product to make bleeding your brakes worth your time.
Ate Super Blue brake fluid is a great product for both the enthusiast driver and competitive club driver. One hundred percent synthetic fluid is specifically designed to resist the high temperatures of racing brakes and clutch systems. The elevated boiling point of Ate Super Blue brake fluid (593°F) enables effective braking even under the extreme conditions of competition. The very high wet boiling point (420°F) is superior to conventional brake fluids and provides a particularly efficient braking system in rain and high humidity environments.
Note: You will need 2 liters to do a complete fluid change on most models. Remember, brake fluid attracts water, so it’s recommended by Volvo to flush the fluid every two years as preventative maintenance
