When I did it I removed the engine under shield and left it off whilst doing the dumps. I reused the washers etc through tout the process then fitter new. It was all fine. I intend to do it at 150,000 |

I haven't done this job so can't comment with any experience, but from a general engineering point-of-view I'd say if you're going to change O-rings, best do it at the first dump / fill rather than the last. Reason being that they have been under compression for a number of years, when you undo them you may find they have degraded and reusing them may lead to leaks. But if you change them first, the small amount of time between the refills shouldn't harm them, and I would have thought they can be re-used.

I replaced my geartronic oil at 54k using the dump and fill method using 12 litres. The oil that came out didn't look that good and was probably overdue.
I had another change at 90k by a specialist who replaced the oil using their machine, they also updated the software. My recommendation would be to have a specialist carry out the work as this will give better result with less mixing of new/old oil and new software. Regards, Steve |

The garage charged just shy of £150 including labour if I recall correctly for a drain & fill of the transmission fluid. I figured I can do the same myself in my own time & save a fair bit... I'll buy the fluid (a 20L drum of JWS3309) & new rubber o-rings for the drain plug. Then I won't be paying the garage for labour & their charge for plugging in diagnostics. I have a VIDA laptop, but I can't do any software updates. I'm presuming DIY'ers don't bother with that? Its a 2007 car (mine) & my dad's V70 is a 57 plate... I doubt there's many new software updates on older vehicles like these, or is there?

Software updates are worth doing IF you and issues to start with - if after changing the fluid and it's been driven a few hundred miles to re-adapt you are happy with how the gearbox is operating - there's likely no need.

The transmission adapts itself anyway, over time. Resetting the adaptions just makes the transmission "learn" how to shift with the new fluid quicker, but it'll do that itself if you don't reset the adaptions anyway (albeit, slower).

I have Vida but you don’t need it. The level is set (from memory) at 50/60 C.
It took my XC90 20 mins to get to 50C and then sat stable for 25minutes and didn’t rise. I tried driving without adaptation reset and with abs didn’t notice a difference. Re reusing the washers. It’s a good point to replace but I certainly had no leaving and fitted new washers on the last drain. There is no need to take this to anyone or to have a specialist do it. Once done once you will be able to do it in 30 minute intervals, possibly 15. I understand Toyota fluid is to same spec and much cheaper. |

You don't need to pressure-flush it anyway - the proper method (Volvo approved) is to disconnect the pipe from the intercooler and let the box pump the oil out of the torque converter and internals by itself (aka Gibbons method). |

If you have the time, the full adaptation process is definitely worth it.
