Hello to all the forum guys,
i'm a happy owner of a Volvo S80 II 2.4 D5 136Kw with automatic transmission (5 speed), i want to know what kind of maintenace i have to do.
Usually i change motor oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, motor oil, abitacle filter, each 20.000km or each year. But i dont know what to do with the automatic transmission.

Can someone help me?

Thank you
Roberto

Drain the transmission via the 24 mm drain plug on the bottom of transmission that faces to the right.
3.5 litres will drain, maybe a bit more if you left plug out for 2 or more hours.
The dipstick is a bit hard to find and you will need a funnel that has an end on that is no larger than 13mm on the outside in order that it will fit into the fill pipe for filling.
The dipstick is low on front of transmission and usually has the lower radiator hose positioned on it so that it is hidden unless you move the hose to the side.
There is no filter that is serviceable on this transmission. If the fluid is especially dark the you could do the drain and refill every 10.000 Km 3 times and it should clean it up.
