Transmissiom fluid type v70

soares71 · Aug 9th, 2018, 17:11

Thinking to do a transmission fluid change on my V70 auto petrol.user manual says it uses dexron III G in the auto transmission. However online I find the info saying this car which got Aisin 5 gearbox uses ATF-U (jws-3309). Could anyone clarify and provide any reliable reference which is the appropriate oil to be used in this car?

If it's 5 speed, then JWS3309

Thanks for the prompt response. I totally believe as that is the info that I find all over the web but I am intrigued to find out where this info comes from as I mentioned before at my users manual says dextron III G. Just want be absolutely sure to fill in with the right oil.

AW55 50 box takes JWS 3309.

Given that replace all oil in the gearbox is impossible and that Volvo original oil is mineral and most jws 3309 are fully synthetic. I am wondering if anyone see this mixing type of oils as a potential issue for the gearbox. I read few comments on web that certain cars gearbox manufacturers are not capable to take either one or another and wondering why Volvo uses mineral oil originally.

appears its the same gearbox as my c70, i used 3309 from smith and allen,
4500 miles and all ok. used the gibbons method but mine pumped out of the return pipe not the cooler.
