AWD Transmission: - XC90 Oil Level Check ? - Page 2

Volvo4skier · Jul 18th, 2010, 19:20

Further research has indicated that there is NO dipstick for the transmissions on the xc90 v8 since 2005. Apparently it has an overflow plug.

See attachment concerning Volvo transmissions.

Hope that helps.

1) I have been having issues with the car movement recently, its not moving fast anymore, it has become very sluggish on the road and i don't know what to do.

2) And again, i will like someone to describe to me the exact position of gear box gauge stick/drain in the car.

Many Thanks

If you do not have a dip stick ie car is post 2006, then: Remove lower engine shield. start engine and get to running temp. Find gearbox drain plug. It has a TORX head bolt in the middle. Remove CENTRE bolt of gearbox drain plug. Drain plug has tube built into it to set height of oil in box. If oil is just dripping out thats ok. If no oil then remove fill plug in top (TORX 60) under air filter and fill via funnel & piece of pipe.
DO NOT STOP ENGINE WITH CENTRE BOLT REMOVED. as it will dump the oil in the cooler out and your car will then be sluggish as it will be short of oil!
If oil is coming out dark brown then needs flushing/replacing. (do search on Gibbons Method)
OK?
