Auto gearbox oil change advice
I have a 2014 (Mk3) V70 with the Asin Warn TF80SC auto box.
It's overdue for servicing. I'm a bit confused with what I need. Does anybody know how much oil I'll need? I'm assuming 4 litres but I want to be sure. There also seems to be two pictures of filters - one looks like an oil filter and one is a black plastic thing. I was going to just buy the genuine Volvo fluid, unless anybody has a better idea. Any experiences / advice much appreciated. Cheers. |

There is a huge amount of info to cover all your points on the Forum - search for TF80SC oil change pulls back 25, but in summary:
Yes. There is no user-serviceable gearbox filter. Lots of other options, sometimes cheaper. |

Ok - thanks.
I take it that the filter advertised is internal? I'm really not trying to "cheap out" on oil. While I know that the Volvo branded stuff is probably a rip off, I'd rather just get that as it's still a lot cheaper than a rebuild. |

Yes, it's only serviceable by splitting the entire 'box.
As long as you have the right spec oil you will be OK - but it's important you read the debate and form your own view as to the efficacy of (My personal, but that of many others too) that statement. Some Volvo Dealers are quite aggressive on price, so it may not be as much as a premium as you think for the blue badge. Countless more 'boxes are killed by not changing fluid than any being damaged by using non-Volvo but correct spec ATF. |
