Here is some additional information about Volvo's transmission fluid recommendations for the V70 automatic transmission:
- Fluid Type: Volvo recommends using a synthetic automatic transmission fluid (ATF) that meets the JWS 3309 specification. This specification ensures that the fluid has the proper viscosity and friction properties for use in the V70's automatic transmission.
- Fluid Change Interval: Volvo recommends changing the transmission fluid in the V70 automatic transmission every 60,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first. This interval may be shorter or longer depending on driving conditions and the age of the vehicle.
- Fluid Level Check: The transmission fluid level should be checked regularly to ensure that it is within the proper range. The fluid level can be checked using the transmission fluid dipstick located in the engine compartment.
- Fluid Maintenance: Volvo recommends following the maintenance schedule for the V70 automatic transmission, which includes changing the transmission fluid at the recommended intervals. If the fluid is not changed as recommended, it can deteriorate and cause problems with the transmission.
Please note that using a non-recommended transmission fluid in the V70 automatic transmission can void the vehicle's warranty and cause problems with the transmission.
