...never touched auto trans fluid as suggested by Volvo.
It have 300k+ km and works like 1st day i bought it.
Let me tell you a secret that they don't want you to know:
If you did not touch the original factory-filled engine oil, you could have easily had 600k+ instead of just 300k
Example of Precision: Measure with a Micrometer, mark it with Chalk, and then cut it with an Axe.
