Hi all I got an automatic 2002 S60 T5 its running perfect but i noticed the trans fluid its black. And looking and looking it should be change every 30,000 miles.. I want to know if it is just drain all the old oil and put on brand new oil if u could help with specific instructions like what trans oil should i use i think is the ATF 3309 fluid but i dont know any help would be aprreciate it thanks...

 

Go to IPD and pick up the flush kit and fluid.12-14 quarts.the hole deal shipped is $130 .www.ipdusa.com
This is a very easy thing to do the fluid is 3309 and the flush is done threw the driver side on the radiator. I used lower line drivers side sliped the IPD hose (on to the In line) and start flushing You can also use the upper line but you have to put the hose in the Radiator(Out line).Start the car with hose in something you have marked at 2 quarts Flush.Then with funnel put 2 quarts down the dipstick. Do this untill the Fluid runs Bright Red.Took me 12+ until i was getting the new fluid.This is why i say 14 quarts it takes 12 to flush system.

 

Once you go black, dont go back!!!

I have heard this, but its up to you. There is only a drain plug on the bottom and it uses synthetic ONLY, I believe a Mercon V spec.

 

NO NO NO 3309 IN NOT SYNTHETIC ONLY USE MOBIL 3309 OR VOLVO JWS3309 FLUID.NOTHING ELSE OR YOU WILL END UP WITH ISSUES MAY BE NOT TODAY BUT YOU WILL Aisin Warner trannies ARE VERY Specific when i comes to fluid.

 

There are a ton of other fluids that meet the JWS 3309 spec, just read the back of the bottle and you should be OK.

 

Thanks guys!!! Will be buying the kit....

 

You can buy the Mobil 3309 at this website below which is much cheaper than IPD. I have used them before & they are very reliable.

Toyota T IV atf also conforms to JWS3309. Amsoil synthetic is also a good one. Mobil ! synthetic is the last one I used and is recomended by a lot of volvo owners but they're not for sale in California prob. due to some issues w/ EPA.
