A local autobox specialist I took mine to initially for his opinions said my '99 had a 5 speed box and that I was wrong saying 4 speed.

'Done several V70's - they're all 5 speed'.

Needless to say this numpty's opinions didn't count for that much afterwards.

Dex 3 OK for 4 speed as noted in my 1999 V70 OEM drivers handbook.

Specialist told me I'd been using the wrong ATF.

Maybe he thought I was a numpty and would take his 'expert' opinion as gospel, give him the job and pay him the £800 quoted just for removing and refitting the box plus whatever extra considerable costs for working on it.
