Hi all.
My 2015 V60 auto has now hit 119kmiles and I'm concerned about the oil in the box. According to Volvo UK it only requires changing if it reached 150kmiles or has been towing or been used as a taxi as its considered "sealed for life".. but I fail to see how even a modern lubricant can remain effective for that long, so I want to flush and replace the oil.
I've looked online and cant find what lubricant should be used (I presume fully synth transmission oil will be ok), or how much does the gearbox hold (as I need to flush I'll require double the qty)..
Anyone out there with knowledge?
