My 2004 S80 T6 had it's first transmission oil change last year at about 115k. I was told by Volvo Service it came with forever fluid. The pan was dropped and Dextron 3 was used. The transmission shifted harshly so I took her straight to Volvo Service for a complete flush with Volvo synthetic fluid. The flush cost $250 and the transmission has been normal since and I am at 134K. I saw the pan when it came down and it was completely clean and the magnet had a slight film on it. I will from now on have Volvo flush it every 30k. June
