Can't speak to that specific brand but it does quote Toyota AWF-WS in the pic...So I would think that this item is equivalent to: Volvo 31256774/31256775, Toyota AWF-WS, or JWS3324.

The ebay link is a standard viscosity fluid (as you can see it also complies with Toyota t-iv, which is jws 3309).

Try this: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pv-168290-...FW4R0wodeckItg

Having been quoted between £36 and £62 per liter (I kid you not) for "genuine" AW-1 I'm thinking of this

http://www.ravenol-direct.uk/ravenol...-lifetime.html
Various internet trawling suggest that certain "genuine" versions of AW-1 may be made by Ravenol. Whether this is true I don't know but at least this product seems to cover a lot of different designations given by car manufacturers to the same gearbox.

I have now got the carlube I could not find any ravenol in the uk and it was either in germany or poland, i have enough problems buying from people in the uk let alone europe! so i just got carlubes lv from gsf, hopefully it'll be ok and not ruin an expensive car! parts for volvo was offering genuine volvo stuff for 62 pounds for 4 litres but to be honest the father in law is skint (hasnt even paid for the car yet!) so i'm afraid its carlube! and for all us mortals know it could be the same stuff in a volvo bottle anyway because volvo wont even tell us the spec of it!! I contacted volvo about doing a fluid change and asked for the spec on fluid they didn't want to know! to be honest volvo are great cars but the volvo service places round here are nothing but a bunch of crooks, they stole my uncles new battery and replaced it with a dud thinking he was an idiot and wouldn't notice (but he had fitted it himself a few days before!) they assumed that because he always had it serviced annually by volvo that he never eve lifted the bonnet, he never used the dealer again after that and after having volvos for 50 years he now drives Kia's! they lost a good customer there and so many people down here dont trust cambridge volvo including me!! money grabbing so and so's!

Hey I am looking for replacement Oil for my V40 CC D3 TF-80SD transmission, and I think I will go for the ravenol. But how can it be AW-1, JW3324 and BOT341 at the same time when BOT341 seems to be used in manual transmissions?

EDIT/ My bad, mixed up MPS6 which is i guess the automatic box and the D2 and the M66 which is the manual trans.
Still confused about Ravenol being AW1, JWS324 and BOT341 at the same time ...

The JWS id is what you should go with. It's either JWS3309 or JWS324. The older transmissions called for JWS3309 and then some time in 2011 Volvo switched to JWS324. Ignore BOT341. Like I said previously though, I highly recommend that you at least call your local dealership parts dept, give them your VIN and ask them what Volvo part # they suggest for ATF. You can line that up with either 3309 or 324 stuff.
