XC70 2005 Transmission Fluid
Hello all, I know that transmission fluid has been discussed, and have read most of the posts. I just wanted to get the opinion of the members here. I have about 6 liters of Volvo transmission fluid part number 1161640, not quite enough for a flush. So my question is, would you go to the dealer an pay 85.00 for a jug of Volvo fluid, or buy a 5 liter jug of Mobil 3309 and mix it with the Volvo fluid? The 5 liter jug of Mobil is 35.00. The transmission is a geartronic and the book recommends JWS 3309
The Volvo fluid is Mobil1 JWS 3309. Mobil is the only manufacturer in North America. It's basically Dextron II fluid with extra anti-oxidizers and anti-foaming agents. It lasts a little longer than standard transmission fluid, especially in hot climates.
It is not Dexron fluid. It is a quality specification. Educate yourself before posting all this crap please.
