Hi Brickies,

A question for you...

Does the Automatic Transmission Fluid Brand matter, that is to say, must it be Volvo's own or will any good ATF do?

I did a flush on my recent V70 acquisition as the old stuff was BURNT - hgg'hmm not good - smelllllls baaaaadddd.

Any way, all done, and tranny fairly smooth, just a bit slow to move up gear when cold and sometime a slight jolt - seems hesitiant.

So I'm thinking, should I have used Volvo's own and am I doing any harm?

Any questions, please ask; any views please say!

Cheers

Andy
