Your oil will almost certainly be stinking , black and worn out at that mileage.

Every chance that doing this procedure will help enormously but absolutely no guarantee.

Many Volvo dealers and independents will tell you that the box is sealed for life. It isn't and the fluid should be changed.

Your choice, your wallet but I would chance my arm on 20 litres first.

That’s good advice and I second it.

My 2012 xc90 with 70k on it at the time had its oil changed by myself. I did it as a preventative idea not due to faults but it was instantly loads smoother and better.

The oil was black and fhicker. God only knows what your oil will look and smell like!
