Volvo XC60 XC90 S60 V70 Complete Transmission Service.
In this video I show you how to do a transmission service that can be repeated multiple times if needed If done when transmission is stone cold. I show all the needed tools and equipment and procedure to ensure no over or under filling. I show how to use temperature to verify correct fluid level. Also show how to use the factory quick fill port for easy servicing. This demonstration is for a routine maintenance service and not meant to diagnose or repair any shifting or drivability issues.
Volvo doesn't recommend replacing the fluid. However I see daily that it should be replaced every 30-40 thousand miles. Especially in very hilly areas.
**Disclaimer*** If your vehicle is not shifting well and has trouble codes for transmission operation, you should not service it. You will need to take it to a professional for diagnostic. Servicing a failing transmission can speed up the failing process. Proceed with caution. Below I will give you the tools needed for success

I wanted to add torque specs for anyone that's interested. The fill plug on top is 35Nm, main drain plug with the tube is 35Nm, and the little plug is 8Nm. VIDA does also recommend resetting the adaptations and the fluid life counter, but I'm not sure how to do that without VIDA. Anyways, great video and information.
Good video very straightforward
Thank you for details. Very clear with tips and straight forward.
Looking good Darwin - J Ellefson
Great job buddy! Thank you so much for the video! All the best...
Thnx for the upload! Grtz from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thank you for this video.... I need volvo vida full diagnosis scanning tool kit after year 2016 all model
Does this box not have a filter?
Thanks for the great video - very helpful! One question though: If you expect 3 quarts to drain out and exactly 3 quarts drain each time, why is it necessary to go through that procedure at the end where you check the temperature and use the overflow pipe? Why not just put 3 quarts back in every time? Won't that guarantee you'll have the same amount of fluid you started with?? Thx
You are correct. If only 3 comes out then you should be good. However some people do 12 qts or more. When this is done the transmission warms up and you can over fill and get weird shifting. Good question hope this helps.
Really easy to follow video, thank you. Do you need to plug it in to vida to get the gearbox into service mode or do any kind of relearn.
No. The only thing to reset is the oil life counter. It doesn’t need to be reset.
No. After the new fluid is in and full you just drive it. There is an oil counter that can be reset in the TCM but its not critical.
Great video! is the process the same for 2019 volvo s/60 awd T6 (4cyl supercharge turbo)? When is a good time to change the transmission fluid? 50K
If you live in a hilly or dusty area they recommend every 30k miles. For most people 50k is just fine.
Nice video. Around how long while the engine was running, did it take to reach the right transmission temperature? (Weather is summer where i am currently)
A whole litre and half came out the transmission, duringvthe leveling part, this being after after i poured 4 litres... so maybe was tooo hot.
It can take 15 to 20 minutes.
Is it same procedures on Volvo xc60 2009 2,4 diesel automatic?
Yes it should be.
Cheers man
Thanks for your comments. I'm not sure. We don't get the diesels over hear in the states.
Ok but how to change the oil filter? The filter is very dirty and clogs oil. Not only does changing the oil help.
The only way to change the filter is to dismantle the transmission. It’s not intended to be serviced. I know crazy right?
Japanese theft.I would not allow such a thing to be sold.
I don't understand how three liters of oil flowed if you didn't remove the long screw. min 5:43 You removed the small screw and three liters flowed, but how?
First you pull the center screw. You usually get about 1 liter. Then you use the 17mm Allen to remove the center piece which is the level pipe. Once that’s removed all the fluid dumps out. Hope that helps.
center screw It's not the oil level?How can a liter of oil flow if you have to fill with maximum oil up to that point.I know what the two screws are. The small screw is for the level. The long screw indicates how much oil you have to put.There is one liter left in the gearbox after emptying. Put four liters in and loosen the small screw to empty the extra one liter.I don't know why so much oil flows when you unscrew the small screw.
So you didn't bother to check the torque fot the screw?
Oh yes, it’s 25 foot pounds.
Change every 30k or dont touch it!
