Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

vtl if you have any wisdom to share I’d appreciate it. My wisdom, after I dumped more than a grand on finding a cheaper alternative to "expensive" Volvo OE fluid says: use Volvo OE. It costs about $60 for 4 liters in US, and healthy transmission always works best with it. How cheaper than...
