2006 xc70- Time to flush out the steering fluid. Since I don't have an owner's manual, what is the recommended fluid for the steering fluid?
I also will be doing a brake bleed...is there a sequence to bleeding the brakes? I will be doing all four, with new fluid.

    Brake fluid is DOT4+. You should bleed the rear brakes first, then the right front and the left front.

    PS fluid = Pentosin CHF 11S

    For the owner's manual online try: http://volvo.custhelp.com/app/manuals/ownersmanualinfo/year/2006/model/XC70

    Keeping it running is better than buying new

      The power steering fluid is a bit pricey---but don't scrimp--it really is what you need. NAPA stores carry it--look for a green and white metal container. -- Dave
