Hello all!

Purchased myself a 2006 v70 D5 (183?) with the 6 speed box. Given it a full service, rear brake discs and a calliper, new handbrake shoes... Drives great, gearbox is nice and smooth, really happy.

At the time I thought this is the highest milage(140k) I have every purchased but now think it was the best 2k I have ever spent!

So only thing I haven't done is gearbox oil, which I read is important to get life out of the box? Have read this is stronger box than the 5 speed? how much oil do I need? have searched for a few hours last night and cannot find much for the 6 speed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
