I only own this 2007 XC90 V8 (non-sport) model for 3 years now. The XC90 is now has about 85K miles on the car. The XC90 does gets regular oil changes (5K miles) and a tuned up at 75K miles. The Haldex (?) and pressure sensor for the AWD has been worked on from the dealership twice under CPO program. Anyways, the XC90 now has 85K miles and I was wondering if this is a good time to have the front and rear Differential fluid flushed? I can't find any info on how to DIY, because I believe I can do this myself if I can find the info and steps.

Anyone with the 07' XC90 w/V8 AWD like mine has done this before??

Thank you in advance.

There is no service interval for them and also no drain plug. You would need to suck fluid out through the fill plugs if you wanted to do this.

 

Thanks ES6T!

I called an Indy shop specialized in Volvos.... They said that they recommend having the Differential fluid flushed at 100K miles. The cost is $150 per axle.

Would you know what type of fluid to use and how much?

Thanks,

Jay

Thanks for the link to your article cn90. I wonder if this procedures are the same for the 2007 XC90 with an V8 engine??
