If your lever positions go : P R N D 3 L the box is a four speed 50-42, regardless of whether you have three 'S,W,E' buttons or just one 'W' button. Dexron 3 is fine in any 50-42 box.

If your lever positions go : P R N D 4 3 L the box is a five speed 55-50, in which the expensive JWS3309 spec fluid is required.

Simples!
Yep...I was under the same impression.....I have PRND3L on mine (4 speed)...and ONE "W" button only....and the VIN supports a 42 box.???..it's a Denso car btw
Seems cars of this sort of vintage were diverted through Volvos pick 'n mix department during the manufacturing stage..??LOL
