I changed the auto fluid on my v70 d5 116k when I bought it in April 2010, it was a VERY dark brown colour and considerably thicker that the bright red oil I bought from volvo (although expensive). I have also recently drained out another 3.5lts and replaced with new, all with no probs at 124K. For the sake of about £35 for 4lts of oil I plan to do this simple job once a year to preserve the box for as long as poss!
Incidentaly I have another issue regarding it cutting out! but thats another post!
