For reference: I too noticed my dad's 2011 S60 D3 steering was heavy compared to my 2011 V70 D3, and after doing what I've just described his steering feels fine

Yep, its very dark. Definitely needs a change. Thinking of taking the reservoir out and cleaning it with brake cleaner. That should clean the little filter inside the reservoir too. Then empty the dirty stuff out into a container and dry the reservoir with compressed air.
