ATF & a 2009 Xc90 auto
Simple question, it is my intention to change the gearbox oil, I’ve had my car nearly 10 years, I think it’s due a change, I’m competent with spanner’s etc, I know which oil I need, done all my homework, do I need synthetic or non-synthetic JWS 3309 oil?

Any oil with that spec will suffice.

I’m also interested in this as just bought a 59!plate xc90 with c. 195k. I did a 30mins test drive and box seemed to change very smoothly and kick down etc but down know if / when last changed. I’ve seen the big (20l) containers of Mannol on eBay to the Js3309 spec. Is this recommended ? Also what’s the best approach on something with this mileage. Drop and replace 3-4 litres over a few days/ weeks to gradually replace or alternatively the gibbons method to flush it all out? I feel more confident doing the sump drop method and I read that this is less likely to upset the box’s learned behaviour. Is this adequate or do I need to figure out how to do the gibbons method?

This is a reputable long established firm and several on here including myself have used this JWS 3309 oil.
Good value and excellent service and a very wide product range. https://www.smithandallan.com/produc...mission-fluid/

Yes, I've used Mannol JWS 3309 on a previous car and had no issues whatsoever. I "think" that the Mannol is mineral oil whereas the Smith and Allan is synthetic. I have now started using synthetic only although it may be that there is no real advantage but for the small extra outlay I'm sticking with it. In addition, they are on my doorstep so I can collect rather than pay for delivery.

I rang my local Volvo dealership today, as I'm thinking about changing the transmission fluid on my car soon. They quoted me £18 for a 1L bottle & £62 for 4L! I think I'll go for the Smith & Allan brand, as many have used it & give it good reviews. The 20L drum seems like a good value option.

Sorry to ask a daft question but is this for 6 Speed transmission as well? I used 3309 on my past 5 Speed Auto V70s but my XC90 V8 is a 6 speed and there’s so little write-ups about them.
Thanks in advance, Steve

Steve, my 2007 XC90 is a D5 with 6 speed box and the correct oil for that is JWS 3309.
I realise that yours is a 2007 V8 but am pretty certain that they share the same box. It shouldn't be hard to check to see if this is correct.👍

Check your owner's manual & that should tell you for definite.
The Smith & Allan website linked above states JWS3309 can be used in (Quoted from the website) S60, S70, V70, XC70, C70, S80, XC90, S40, V40 & all 5-speed automatics. I presume all the models listed have six speed transmissions, hence why '& all 5-speed automatics' is noted at the end? Or maybe its a universal fluid that can be used in 5 & 6 speed transmissions? I'm not sure about that though. My car has a six speed transmission. Its a 2007 plate & the manual says JWS3309 should be used.
