Flush Tranny Fluid? S60, 2001 96000 miles

Post by VolvoS60S40 »

I bought a used 2001 S60 6 months ago from a Volvo dealer. It currently has 96000 miles on it. It drives great, but for peace of mind I just wanted to know if I should have the transmission fluid drained & replaced. My dealer says not to do anything since I don't have any problem with it & just continue to follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you have no problems at all just do a drain and fill.
Do it a couple of times within 5K miles and you should be fine
Just remember you MUST use 3309 fluid.
If you don't want to pay Volvo's absurd prices you can buy a case of MOBIL 3309 or go to a Toyota dealer and buy their 3309, same stuff for less
