There you go - better than Dexron and backwards compatible with it, smoother shifting, better economy and performance, meets JWS3309 and the other Volvo spec with the long number that i can't remember. Use it in all my boxes and PAS too and even the trolley jack.
Other uses include adding 0.5 - 1.0L to the engine oil to free sticky hydraulic tappets, gently clean the engine internally and condition the seals or mix it 50/50 with acetone, give it a good shake and you have an amazing penetrating oil.

Alternatively you could use Valvoline ATF but that's more expensive.......
