Hi

I have a 2006 C70 Mk ll 2.4D auto, & want to replace the gearbox fluid.

I keep reading conflicting info, please advise what is the correct fluid if not purchased from a Volvo dealer. I suspect it is Mobil 3309, but is this correct?

Thanks

I think I'll go with Mobil 3309 - the handbook says JWS 3309 ind the spec, so seems a safest option. Some Googling suggests that the Volvo ATF is Mobil 3309 repackaged

I thought I'd check how accessible the ATF dipstick/filler hole is. My car is a 2006 C70 Mk 2 5 Speed D5 geartronic. I know where it's supposed to be, but even with the air filer & air inlet duct removed there is no sign of the yellow (or any other colour) dipstick tucked away. Can anyone confirm there definitely is one & where it'll be
Thanks
