Aside from its volume being measured in metric (  :-)  ) , you get a 
nice easy-mount bracket for it & it weighs almost nothing like Ed's Pep 
Boys unit.  The big advantage is, it's designed to be a sealed system 
without a 'burp' vessel. The cap on the bottle is the pressure cap. This 
means that  air pressure in the top of the tank forces fluid back into 
the engine/radiator as it cools.  The cooling loop is always 
pressurized.  Because it's translucent and part of the pressurized 
system, you can tell at a glance whether your system is truly full of 
coolant.

This technique isn't unique to Volvo, but it's the 1st  car I noticed it 
on and the tank would be easy to mount if you get the bracket with it. 
 Look under the hood of  a Volvo & evaluate the way the system works for 
yourself.
