Re: XC90 2004 Transmission fluid flush DIY

Fluid is not life of vehicle. ... Multiple drain and fills are well documented here on MVS. ... The TCM software is advanced enough to make subtle timimg changes to shift patterns and solenoid behaviour based on fluid life. The other parameter to be reset by Vida is the adaptives which adjusts/lear...

Re: XC90 2004 Transmission fluid flush DIY

Re: XC90 2004 Transmission fluid flush DIY

Is there something we need to reset in the volvo computer as well as the flush? I'm at 95k miles on a new to me 2004 xc90 and want to do this not knowing how the previous owner drove. I have the fluid on order already from FCP (Aisin OEM ATF-04 JWS3309) But I do not have Vida/Dice (I'm on mac OS too)

I ordered Motul 8100 5w30 x-clean and filters from FCP, but now realize that the x-clean is more diesel specific. Euro spec 4 and 5, ACEA C3, API SM/CF ...
