We have purchased a certified used 1998 V70 AWD. How often are you supposed to change ATF in these cars? It looks fairly brown and begins to smell unfruitful.
I can't find anything in the owner's manual about ATF changing intervals. Dealership told me "...these cars have sealed transmissions, you don't change ATF in them..." What about all those famous stories about bevel gears / driveshafts / other AWD mechanism parts? Is there some sort of a technical bulletin available? Does anyone know how to get in touch with the factory representative for the southeastern region (TN) if I need to? There are other things that the dealer has overlooked prior to purchase, but ATF seems to be one of the major ones. Other V70 AWD owners - feel free to post whatever comments you may have, especially about the AWD drivetrain. THANKS !!!
