What Kind of Trans Fluid? V70-XC70 2003

The 2003 V70, 2.4 NA, auto trans has about 160,000 miles on it and some rather dark looking fluid in the trans. My wife's 2005 S80 2.5T has 105,000 on it, so it's probably needing the same. What kind of fluid is everyone using? Also, is there any kind of serviceable trans filter on these things?

In anticipation of the next question - Yes, I did just replace the T-belt, tensioner, idler, and accessary belt on the S80. (Did NOT remove the damper pulley to R&R the T-belt.)

    You can use Mobil 3309 or Toyota T-IV. The Toyota fluid from Amazon is much less expensive and is made by the company that owns and mfr's the transmissions. Cost is approx $5.00/quart.

    Your name sounds like one of the crew from my days on RWD.

      Thanks, Dick. I wanted to be sure I didn't screw it up with the wrong stuff.

      Yes, I'm an old RWD forum bum. Except for the "waiting for retirement project" 1800ES, our last RWD, a nice 92 745, went bye-bye last winter when I accidentally ran a red light and got t-boned in the drivers door by a Pontiac G6. The Pontiac got towed away (totaled) and we gave the lady a ride home in the smashed-in Volvo wagon. I miss that car. It just couldn't be straightened back out correctly so I sold it for about $500 to some guy that said he wanted to try patching it up.
