BG Transmission Fluid

Post by 2forty »

I purchased a 2013 volvo XC60 FWD 3.2. I like the Aisin fluid OWS.
Anyone using the BG transmission fluid? If you are which BG fluid are you using?
Thanks

Sorry you are not getting much traction on this. I don't know the answer as I just did a trans swap and was looking at the Aisin oil, but my buddy had a stash of Volvo oil we could use instead.

I can only suggest contacting BG directly and asking them fir a recommendation of their product you should use on your car.

    I had never heard of BG. I just Checked their website and there is many reasons not to use their transmission oil in your Volvo. I am going to guess that Amsoil probably has better performance products than BG - Yet you should NOT use Amsoil ATF in your Volvo.

    There are a few good choices, here are some:
    • Mobile 3324
      Aisin ATF-0WS
      Idemitsu 31256774
