How much fluid comes out/goes back in for the 5 speed auto on my 2000 V70? I know for my 98 S70 with the 4 speed it is about 3.25 quarts, is it any different for the 5 speed?

A little over 4?

It is better to do a flush by disconnecting the cooler hose.
Search for the DIY.

Suit yourself but myself and many others recommend the drain and fill method.

If the fluid has not been changed in a long time, I think initially 3 drain and fills is much better than shocking the system with all new fluid. After the new fluid from the initial drain+fills has had time to clean up gunk and junk through normal use, then I think the cooler line flush is ideal.

Agreed.

My wife's Volvo is a 2000 S70, 5 speed Auto transmission. I do a drain & fill once per year and I get out the same as your 4 speed--about 3 1/4 quarts.
