2005 XC90 2.5T: AOC (Active On-Demand Coupling) Fluid...

Post by cn90 »

I have a question for the fluid gurus...

The Volvo AOC unit requires fluid PN 1161641, which is expensive.

The transfer case fluid PN 1161648: some people simply use Redline 75W90 fluid, which is basically GL-5 synthetic fluid.

Now, if you go to any Volvo dealer website and enter PN 1161641, it is cross-referenced to PN 1161648, which is also cross-referenced to PN 31325136.

If this is true, the logic tells me that one can use Redline 75W90 fluid in the AOC?

Any thoughts?
