Out of the two ATFs Volvo recommend for the box, i'd go for the Type G as it has enhanced friction modifiers over the "F" type.
As already mentioned thoguh, probably best to drain the gearbox completely and then refill with your chosen fluid.   |
I may be wrong but I am pretty sure the 1041 axle is fitted with the g80 diff which is a locking type, which you should not use any LSD addtive, you could get a proper Limited slip diff fitted but am fairly sure that was into the 1031 and would have a tag saying anti spin or something so you were reminded to put in lsd the additive
