Does anyone have a link or thread that shows the tranny fluid change procedure for an 04XC90 T6? Also what kind of fluid should I buy? I assume Volvo tranny fluid?

 

I would do transmission fluid flash using radiator / cooler inlet or outlet house. Just check if your transmission has a dipstick, where you can add fresh fluid (newer XC90 do not have access to the dipstick).
T6 has 4-speed GM tranny, and should use Dexron III fluid, I'd flash with synthetic Dexron III (Mobil or Castrol).

Ckeck your manual for the specs on the tranny fluid!!!

 

Ok cool that is where I thought I could drain it from, just wanted to be sure. Yeah mine has a dipstick on it. So it is ok to add fluid through the dipstick? Sounds easy enough...

 

Some people seem to use self-flush kit:

As m1964 says, make sure to check which fluid your XC90 uses. If wrong type of fluid is introduced, the tranny may die immediately after you start driving, as the GM-built transmission on XC90 has very poor reputation.

Also, when you flush the system, make darn sure that nothing gets in the system, not even the tiniest piece of FOD.

Good luck,
