A very reasonably-priced engine & transmission fluid change at a supposed Volvo specialist has unfortunately been turned sour by the fact that they not only ignored the factory recommendation on the later D5s (as plainly stated by the sticker in the engine bay) of not filling the sump past the 2/3rds full mark on the dipstick (or it will throw a fault indication on the dash) but also grossly-overfilling past the top mark on the dipstick, which for a turbo-diesel is very dangerous as it can cause catastrophic failure of the engine via "diesel runaway". Will not be using them again unfortunately 👎
