Tune up? Trans fluid change?

Post by AlanS »

2013 S60- 77K miles. My fuel milage is poor...somewhere in the upper teens around town and highway, mixed. Never did a 'tune up'. Any suggestions as to how to increase the MPG?
Also, I think it's time to do a trans fluid change. Is there a recommended method? Any 'tried and true' methods?

A tune up on these cars is just an air filter and spark plugs. I just did it to a 2014 S60 T5.

When the plugs are really gone it'll start throwing misfire codes, and when the air filter is really plugged it'll throw a lean mixture code.

I'd also look for O2 sensor codes. Those would also result in lousy mileage.
