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.
