The critical point in checking the level is that the engine must be running.
If it isn't then all the fluid that is normally being pumped around the transmission is just sitting in the sump. That's probably why you are seeing a very high level on the dip stick.

I bought my XC70 55 plate euro3 in April and had a full service and autobox oil changed by Duke st in Oldham.
I've one problem, when slowing if I glide to a gentle halt there's no noise nothing. If I'm slightly harsh with the braking then I get a strong clunk as I stop. Should I be worried? Thanks Carl |

check with the garage that changed your g box fluid . only jws3309 can be used . anything else can cause problems and will eventualy wreck your gearbox.

Its a Volvo Indy so I'd assume they'd know their stuff.

Good Day All, I need help with my AW55-50SN Transmission. It started to slip gears 1 and 2 and when I checked the oil level was very low. i am not even sure how the oil got lost. I tried to top up oil and the amount I put in was about 2 litres. I need to know the best way to get my Vehicle driving. Thank you in advance |

2004 XC gearbox: reluctant shift
Yesterday picked up this December 2004 XC70 with 49K on the clock, full Volvo history, immaculate. D5 SE Lux, (I think 165hp). I'm told it was just into the "facelift" model of that year. I'm used to the auto box in a 2003 Landcruiser (which I'll be selling now.) . Driven carefully the LC will pootle around at not excessive revs. The XC70 seems high revving (over 2000rpm at 60mph on the level) and frequently sounds as if it needs to shift up a gear eg doing over 2000rpm for a while at 50mph before eventually changing up, or not bothering. Lucky for me, the action is smooth so its hard to feel the shifts, I'm just watching the revs. I'm not sure what gear I'm in. Is this how it is with these cars? I can't help feeling that it will be very thirsty operating the way it is. As Baloo said about the bees, it just feels like it's working too hard!
Thanks to PeteB1's great post on flushing the box repeatedly, and others, should I be doing this as well, as 49K assuming the same old oil seems a bit of a stretch and I've heard that Landcruisers also really benefit from the treatment. The box is smooth. Maybe i just need to get used to it?! Very many thanks for heaps of great posts on here! |

In a 15-16 year old transmission it's always a good idea to do a drain & fill or two.
Given the ease of this job, you have nothing to lose. The fluid might not be black, burned and smelly but it will be aged, darker and depleted. Many people have been elated after a fluid refreshment. |
