New to me S70...Dark Green Antifreeze? S70

So I did it. I traded my trusty 93 850 for a 2000 S70 Turbo. Man does this thing haul compared to my old brick. I think that I did well. I got it for $5600 including tax title and they got my 850 with 4 bald tires, tracked windshield, a non-working drivers seat adjuster and cracked head light covers. It also was beginning to eat some coolant. My new ride has 99k on it so its almost brand new!

Anyway, I got no service records but a clean carfax. All fluids look recently changed except the ATF which I will be doing ASAP. The coolant is darker green almost a shamrock color. Definately not from the auto parts store. Is this volvo coolant? I always used Prestone in my 850 and I have never seen anything that dark. I like to change my antifreeze once a year, but this stuff is very clean looking with no cloudy color or anything. Anyone see a reason to change it? I think I may wait until summer. Also, anyone have a favorite readily available brand of coolant. I don't have ready access to a dealer.

Thanks all.
