- First time changing transmission oil on my 2009 Volvo XC70 T6, it has 60,000km or 37,000miles.
You need VIDA and DICE to complete this job properly. You can get it on Ebay for around 100USD.
Total capacity of oil in the transmission is 7 liters.
This will be same on diesel and petrol Volvo using the TF-80SC Transmission.
Please check with your dealer for correct oil type!!!
From 2000MY to 2009MY Transmission oil part number is 1161640
From 2010MY to current: Transmission oil part number is 31256775
Hex 17mm washer is 30713220
Torx - 40 Black O-ring is 1233068
Level tube - 31325038
Plug small for level tube - 30713219
The car is level! There is a slope in the garage floor. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
you are better than any volvo service
Nope, not Swedens Volvo services trust me, they live for volvo.
Same in norway
Swedish volvo service sucks donkey balls. They failed to locate a small hole in a hose that was causing check engine light to come on until i mentioned that they could use starter gas to locate it.. Aint even going into the other stuff they failed at.
Its people!
El cambio de aceite no es correcto. Para comprobar el nivel de aceite además de comprobar la temperatura, el coche debe estar horizontal.
Just discovered this channel.
Really good content, super easy to follow!
You Guys Rule! Great videos and good info. I am currently ordering a tailgate module from you and Evgeny. Thank you for all the time you have put in to help fellow Volvo owners.
Excellent. Thanks for a concise and well thought out tutorial.
Btw, by far the best video on transmission fluid change on CZcams. Well done.
Your videos are excellent. Your understanding of the importance for clarity when creating a video is VERY much appreciated. 99% of videos made by people trying to be informative (not just car repair) are very frustrating to learn from. Most times I at least learn what NOT to do, then back track and figure it out. My Daughter was given a '03 S60 Base, 172k miles - our first Volvo experience. This car has been very easy to fix.
TY TY TY ....I searched all over for a good explanation of this. Thank you once again for making this more complicated than it should be.
Great work! Congrats!!!! Never seen anybody explained so detail and simple as you did!!
Thx!!!!
Thanks volvosweeden! Very informative and educational. Followed your instructions and did my first fluid change at 80,000km. The fluid was deep red, so did a drain & fill once. Transmission TF-80SC.
An excellent and clear explanation of the transmission fluid change. Thank you!
This is a great Video, My BMW has the Aisin Gearbox this video helped me greatly. The way you guys explained everything especially with how the drain level plug works.
Парни! Респект Вам за ваш подход к технике! Жму руку!
I agree, the video and explanation are very well done! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Wow!!! Good job done guys! Thank you for your videos!!!!:-)))
Very well detailed video! Very much thank you for this! This is exactly how I will do it on my Volvo S80 V8. A can't say how much of your videos help me to learn about servicing my Volvo! Really appreciate your work! 👌🏻
+Ákos Frast Thx. Easy job
After seeing this video I am also confident to do it my self on my v8. But first I need to get vida and dice.
But your car wasn`t in level, you jacked up the front wheels? Confused? How are you mean "in level"?
+Zeus Sweig Please read in description. The garage floor has a slope. The car is level.
My advice is not to flush it, rather, change the atf at shorter intervals e.g 25k km instead to prevent shocking the transmission when most of the existing atf is removed.
One of the best how-to DIY videos I've ever seen on CZcams and I have seen a lot!
Thx!! Doing my best.
I have one word for you. Awesome! Thank you.
This is the best explanation of this procedure that I have seen. Well done. You explain things well without taking too much time and your video is clear and complete. Thank you.
Thx for the feedback. More to come
Your videos are amazing! I learn so much from them.
Great video! I was a bit worried about doing this myself as it seemed a little complicated, but this video got me through. 😊
I can do my own but don't have the plug in system did you have that
@@shanewonder5306 Yeah I had that. It resets the computer for the gearbox so it knows it has fresh fluid. It changes how it shifts based on how you drive, but also how old the oil is. But most importantly, you can see the temperature of the oil from the sensor. You need to know this as it needs to be between a certain range to properley check the oil. Once it's at that temperature, you take out the filler plug and any excess will come out and the level will be correct. If none comes out you know you need to add more.
You can get Chinese clones of Vida Dice online. They're not too expensive, but much more then other dealer diagnostic systems I've had. I've had Chinese copies of VCDS/Vag-Com for my VWs, and now TechStream for my Lexus (that's for Toyota's too). They're cheap because it's just a basic cable and the software. But Vida Dice has a box of tricks in the middle (you can see that in the video) that bump the price up. So, you'll have to decide if it's worth it for you. If you're going to use it to maintain your car then great, but if it's just for one job get a shop to do it.
It came in handy for me as I did my own maintainence and as it was the proper Volvo software, you could access every system on the car and find out exactly what was wrong. It's helped me diagnose problems, and perform calibrations like the one for the gearbox, and from when I had to install a new clock spring.
Thank you for an excellent demo on this service type..methodical and thorough and totally professional..impressive tutorial!!
Thx!
Brilliant fella, cheers from uk 👍
Superb! Yet again a brilliant step by step video. Many thx for sharing!
You're the best!!! A was waiting for this since december! Thank You Very Much!
This is a great video I wish you worked on Ford Chevys and everything else cuz boy you're a wealth of information and you're right straight to the point thank you sir
Very helpful overall a detailed video!! Thank You!!
Great video! Please keep up the excellent job!
Hi, impressed how you explained everything, really helpful and detailed video. Thank you so much for your patience.
You do the BEST Volvo videos on the entire net. You have taught me how to do my car, how to save money and how to be confident doing my car properly compared to bad mechanics who dont do the correct service work. Thankyou for a great channel.
Thanks!!! More coming
volvosweden your car wasnt leveled when you drained the excess transmission fluid.
The 2 front wheels were higher!!
I recently did this same operation on my car and i jacked 4 wheels on a level cement floor to make sure the care would be leveled.
Thank you so much the detailed instructions! Today i successfully changed the oil in my 2009 XC60 Volvo and the shifting performance is amazing now. Much smoother than before! :)
Good to hear the video is helpful.
I really like the nice detail and showing you do.
Keep it up. Thank you.
What a brilliant video!, i.m going to change my auto fluid on my jatco 5 speed auto on my 2004 vw golf , and your video has given me lots of tips on how the level plug works and more, thanks
Very fascinating procedure, perfectly expalined too. This procedure is quite time consuming, but at least the ATF level is set perfectly.
Yeah, it looks to be tedious and time consuming. At least it’s easier now since he did the vid tho.
It's not set "perfectly" the car needs to be on level ground
Great Video Guys! I already did it like three years ago on my S80 V8 2007, now I just bought a V70 III D3 2011 and it has the same gearbox and it has 161,000 kms and I assume with the original oil from the factory...... Volvo does not have a service plan to change the oil, they say they only change it if there is a problem......!!!!!!! ????? But then it is often already too late !
Really nice video and quality - world class ! I also used your video yesterday for the rear brakes and the handbrake motor, thx for that one as well ! So appreciated by me a Swede living in Germany and with our 3 Volvo cars! You are simply the best!
Volvo do have service plans but for specific vehicles only. 60 000 km for fleet lease/service vehicles (taxi, police etc) and the rest of us "if maybe necessary but Volvo couldn't care less, please buy a new car instead" type of deal.
So changing trans oil is never a bad idea. If yours should fail after a fluid change at 161k it's just a sign that your transmission was damaged beyond repair anyway. It's a Toyota transmission after all, it should hold.
Merci beaucoup, le travail est excellent comme à chaque fois. Bravo à vous et un grand merci🙏🏻
thank you for the great video! going to change the oil on my XC60 this weekend and this was a great tutorial. keep up the fantastic work :) #volvosweden
Warning: on ALL other 5 speed transmissions, never remove the large bolt at the top of the transmission - on the 5 speed Aisin transmission that is a mechanical bolt for the 3rd gear. Instead, always refill by the dipstick tube. Several people removed the upper large bolt, and lost the 3rd gear - you can still recover it if this happened to you czcams.com/video/VFyQptqISsc/video.html
Finished this today thanks to your video, fantastic and thorough as always. I made a few adjustments: I did extensive research and Volvo has an Aisin transmission using same JW3309 fluid as Toyota T-IV, which is what I bought. It is the same stuff and much cheaper, $80 for 12 quarts. I also only did 2 drain and fills, saving the last 4 quarts for about 1000 miles down the road when the fluid would be really mixed and next oil change. Reason - I've done this on Acura before, their 3x3 procedure asks you drive through all forward gears between drains to ensure mix and my mileage is 85K miles, only doing a 2X gives adaptation some time to settle back in and not shock the system
Does the Aisin TF-80SC do "adaptation"?
@@pbierre yeah it’s an adaptive gearbox that adapts to how you drive it basically which is good for fuel but terrible for performance in some instances.
Your oil fill demonstration helped me understand the overflow. Liked and sub'd. Thank you
Fantastic video. This is probably the best level of detail and information i have ever seen for an auto service channel. Thank you so much.
I just drove from Austin to Seattle after having a shop change transmission fluid in my 2008 xc90 v8. The car drove fine but now has a huge puddle of transmission fluid under it. Hopefully i can figure out the issue.
Понравилась идея с двойной пробкой - тут инженеры молодцы
Идея старая, подобные вещи сделаны ещё на древних zf
Причём эта замута с температурой коробки - полная шляпа. В мерседесе на 7g tronic сколько раз менял по схеме заведешь, перекур пока мотор молотит и откручиваем сливаем до уровня. Все нормально.
Great video - the details make all the difference. I completed the service on my 2014 XC70 with a couple of changes. I found a funnel with a long hose that I made stiffer with a coat hanger, and used that to put fluid in the top of the transmission so I didn't have to remove the air filter box - I just used a 3/8" drive extension to access the torx fitting (on mu car a bit hidden by a fitting above it), and an extensible magnet to lift out and replace the torx fitting with each addition of fluid. Worked fine with a little bit of fiddling, with a lot less hassle than removing the air box each time.
Then, the whole VIDA DICE issue was so difficult to decipher (software only available with license from Volvo, outdated operating systems, lots of on line confusion, etc., etc.) that I took my mechanical engineer brother's suggestion and just heated the final 4 quarts of transmission fluid to about 65 degrees C, assuming it would cool a bit when put in the transmission. Buttoned it up and seems to work fine. Didn't bother with resetting any codes.
To anyone doing this. I do not recommend bypassing the reading of the temperature sensor. You will not get the correct reading using methods such as this or using a laser thermometer pointed at the bolt (as I have seen in other car’s procedures). And you will not get the correct level. Probably good enough. But if you’re going through the trouble of servicing a “sealed” transmission I recommend you do it right and get the correct level.
Just get the DICE knockoffs scan tools for about $100 online and the software from volvodiag virtual machines (google it)
Awsome video bro. Very thorough if I was mechanically inclined I would do it myself using this video.
Очень информативно! Демонстрация технологии самостоятельной замены масла будет очень полезна как для любой модификации коробки Aisin (устанавливаются на великое множество европейских, корейских, японских авто) , так и любой автоматической трансмиссии в целом. кстати двойная пробка это не фишка вольво, а именно aisin.
PS: сначала удивил акцент, шведы говорят на английском достаточно чисто, потом услышал русскую речь в кадре и все стало на свои места.
Dude you are awesome! I would take my car to you any day without hesitation. I doubt volvo techs even care to do this right, plus they charge 5 times what it should be. I do not care really about the price if I know the job is done right, but when they take the car to the back how can we tell the job was done right..anyways keep up the good videos, cheers!
Nothing to add, spasiba Yuri & Evgeny the best Volvo Mechanics !!!
This video is fantastic. The instruction is top-notch. Thank you!
Сначала не мог поверить чтоб зарубежом кто-то так заморачивайся. Они масло в коробке не меняют, производитель не пишет об этом. Только наши могли так заморочиться
за каким рубежом? за рубежом твоей квартиры или за рубежом галактики? и кто "они"? это которые "заполонили" что ли? Производитель много о чем не говорит...голову включи
Hi Yuri, I finally changed my transmission oil at 102,000 miles. As mentioned before the transmission was clunking when changing gears between R and D in parking maneuvers.
I followed your instructions but ran into an issue.
When you took off the air box, it was so easy for you, but for the life of me, I could not get the front to come apart, and I was not sure how to get the MAF senser released, as well as the clip that holds it. I watched your video multiple times. Thought I was screwed, cannot change the oil.
BUT WAIT! I was able to see the transmission inlet oil plug and insert a T-55 on extensions. And I was able to squeeze my hand in and remove the plug. And I have a OTC Steel flexible spout and funnel which can fit right into the hole.
Thus I was able to change the oil without removing the air box. Phew!
The transmission oil was black, hardly reddish like yours. After doing three drain and fills, it is barely red. I would probably have to do two more passes to get to your color.
I was able to read the oil temperature with a Foxwell NT510E scanner, but I was not able to reset the counter.
Thank you for your video, could not have done it without your instruction. Regards
Hi brother. How was the gearbox after that? Still clunking? Mine is doing the same thing. Thank you
@@Redrocer In the winter time, no clunking, in the summer still clunks. I need to do two more drain and fills.
@chien-shengtsai8626 thank you for answer 🙏❤️
Hi, finally, someone made a clear video on how to change the oil in the machine yourself so that I don't have to waste money on an automatic filler. Here in CZ it costs around 6 = 12 thousand crowns about 200 = 500 euros. So this guide saved me a lot of money :). Thank you very much and greetings to SWEDEN ...
Great video, keep up the video's they are a great source of reference.
Excellent Sir!!
Shame you are not in the UK.. I would of paid you to service my Volvo's :D
I second that if Yuri was in Ireland,
@@lenniebruce 3rd!
This guy is brilliant for Volvo but in Poland we have "Profesor Chris" for all car manufacturers ;) :D
Великолепный русский акцент))))
Great vid. Need to do this on my 07 XC90. Guess I need a DICE unit too. Thanks!
Very good video! I'm going to do this for my friend's Volvo tomorrow. 🚜
Finally! Thanks for the great video :) Why You decided don't reset adaptations?
I finally got the kahuna's to attempt this and thanks to your video I had the confidence all the way through. However, I did only one drain/fill.
Mine drained exactly 3 liters. The old fluid was more browner than I wanted to see and smelled like old varnish.
It's a 2010 - S80T6 with 118K miles, previously owned by an older gentleman so I don't think it was abused so much.
After the single, 3 liter drain and fill, the fluid turned much more pink after idling, and running through the gears a few times. I was pleased to see that.
I documented with photos so I can compare color after next change in about 3 months. If the fluid is brown again I will consider doing the 3x flush like in the video. Or I may consider spending the $300 to have it fully flushed at the Volvo dealer and have the computer reset. Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
Fluid was $58 here www.fcpeuro.com/products/automatic-transmission-fluid-4-liter-1161640. The website tells me to use the 1161640 for my 2010, not the 31256775 fluid. Anyway, this place is awesome for ordering parts I need and they have a lifetime guarantee! Even on filters!!!! You all really need to check them out!
Thank you again Sir for another wonderful video. I am just a computer programmer but a weekend mechanic on my own cars. Volvo's kindof scare me and I want to take care of my baby. I can't afford the dealership either. I have changed spark plugs, oil trap/PVC box, brakes, and cabin filter, saving a lot of money.
Glad my videos help. Good luck and take care of your S80
Great explanation of how these steps are needed, Thanks
Super video. Thank you from the US
Before you start to pour oil, rotate container for 90 degree and then pour. Keep the opening on higher level and the fluid below... Try with milk or juice container you'll notice nthe diference!
Hi. I'm wondering why you didn't plug a hose to the outgoing part of the gear oil cooler and draining 2liters at a time as it says in the vida dice manual?
Otherwise its a great tutorial as allways! Keep up the good work!
Hi volvosweden, thank you for this beautiful video. Very detailed and well done. (the water bottle thing with the fill plug in it is very nice and 'pedagogic' :). Liked and subscribed.
Glad you like it. Just rewatched myself and it is very gokd video indeed.
Nice, I have to do this shortly after fixing a front CV.
Great video! Just a few notes: There are 2 versions of the TF80SC and both use different transmission oil. (one is type 3309, other 3324) Make sure you use the correct ones as you can not mix these. There is a vin break for each vehicle model so you can check online.
Also, if you find the Volvo fluid hard or expensive to come by, toyota sells the exact same fluid at a cheaper cost. (After all, technically they made that transmission)
Great info! I will add this info to the video description. I thank you.
What's the spec on the Toyota fluid?
Depending on your model VIN break:
JWS3309=Toyota Type IV=1161540
JWS3324=Toyota WS=31256774
Use the VIN to determine, not model year as 2010 does not apply to all models(XC90 didn't change over until 2013)
@@GCast-iv1pd Hi, so my XC70 2010.10 production (MY2011 based on VIN) needs the Toyota WS / JWS 3324 right?
What fluid on a 2007 XC90 D5?
Add a remote derale filter on the return line from the radiator
A Masterpiece of selfmade Clips , respect and hope for many new clips !
( is interestig for me becsuse i got a xc90 3.2)
Thanks for that good tutorial man!!! I Changed the oil on my 2009 xc60 d5, it was dark brown almost Black. I used 20 Liter normal oil with jws 3309 specification for 65€ :) now the Strange gear Change is gone and the shifts are smooth. I didnt have vida dice, so i let the car Run for 20 Minutes and checked the oil with a cheap Thermometer. On monday i will visit the volvo dealer to reset the atf oil Change counter. Thanks alot!
Thanks Volvosweden. Great video and very informative.
I have a question: At 3:05 when you take out the inner Torx screw the first time, fluid starts coming out. Why is that if the level should be such that nothing comes out until you take the big 17mm bolt? In other words, when you adjust the level at the end, no fluid should come out with the inner screw off which is the whole idea behind setting the level.
+Marwan Azzam Difference is that when you drain the oil the engine is off. When you set level the engine mist run. Does it answer?
Yep thanks. It makes sense. When the engine is off fluid settles and goes above the "running" level set by the bolt.
+Marwan Azzam yep
his car got front end on ramps. he failed to level the car. his tranny is underfilled in the end. ;)
+sk97225 please read in the description to the video.
There is no filter change on the transmission?? Just fluid?? Is that on a 3.2 liter volvo?

Good job... Pretty much the same with the 04 P2 models....minus the dipstick. your vid give me so ease to upgrading .....:)
Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour tous ces très bons conseils et ces vidéos de grandes qualités. Bien à vous.
Jean-Marc
Typical french to write in french.. we don’t understand 😂
I wouldn't bother flushing it numerous times. One change will do me. Also I'm not made of money lol.
I've watched several videos on changing the ATF.......some say you must flush, like this guy....others insist that does more harm than good!
A single drain & refill seems enough for me.
And yes I appreciate a single drain does not remove the oil in the Torque Converter....but that amount of oil is eye watering expensive! 12 litres!
(I'm guessing most dealerships would not actually go the full flush as this.)
Hopefully an expert in AutoTrans will enlighten us all.
Flushing it 3 times is still way cheap compared to $3,000. new transmission.
You could have flushed it way easier. Do the normal procedure for a oil change. Then remove the return line from the oil cooler and put a hose on so the oil can be "drained" without a mess. Have a second person start the engine while you still fill the transmission. Old oil from the torque converter and oil cooler will drain untill fresh and clean oil will appear. Only start the engine for short time as 9 liters per Minute are coming out from the return line while idling! At best do that with another person and shift through gears while flushing
This is well documented as the "Gibbons" method in many places. It requires having a fluid connector (which you can get at the junkyard), the one that plugs into the return line of the tranny oil cooler. You use the oil pump integral to the tranny to
push out the old fluid thru this connector attached to a waste oil hose / collection pan. The Gibbons method does a more thorough job of cleaning out the old oil, and
might be worth it if the tranny oil has become very burned.
You are right, this is Volvo recomended method. It is described in Vida too.
Yes, the Gibbons method is what I use as it is more thorough...but a bit more work.
@@pbierreI used to do that (drain bad fluid from the return line)with my old 940 so it sounds like a can do it with my V70 too. I'm just not sure what that extra part is from the junkyard so I'll look for more info on that.
У меня в Peugeot 308 стоит эта же коробка. Пора менять масло.... Спасибо за видео!
i finally did this on my v70 with 245000km and the oil was red/brownish, did not smell burnt. and it shifts even smoother now. :)
Why did you drain extra oil from gearbox when car is not level?
Because he is amateur
Did you not read the description?
I’d just change it once each time and repeat every 2 oil changes or so. Maybe once a year. Waste of oil and money to flush like that with 3 jugs
I tend to agree...But then I'm no expert, especially on automatic boxes.
All I know is that they are expensive to repair...so, I guess this is good preventative advice at the very least.
As you say: 12 litres in total.... Phew! $$$$$
I agree but it still makes a great video
I've watched many german videos about changing transmission oil lately and wondered why they always opened the transmission to change the filter and install a new seal. Some mechanics cleaned the inside of the transmission with break cleaner. One even claimed that changing the filter was more important than changing the oil.
I decided to ignore some of their advice, ordered 20 litres of atf for my two mercedes and a dip stick. And now while I am waiting for the stuff to arrive youtube presents me a video from canada where somebody already did it as wrongly and unprofessionally as I'm intending to do it :-)
Thank you, volvosweden!
Cant believe i just paid volvo £208 to do this and they used only 7 litres of oil, i bet mine looks like urs after 2nd drain 🤔
+Tom Winter Well. They have to keep the lights up and running in the shop.
Otherwise do it yourself. ;)
Tom Winter considering VIDA dice is about £70 and the oem Volvo oil is approx £70 for 4l I don't think that's too bad a price!!!
+gusbandicoot But you keep such a great toll for diagnostics.
volvosweden well yes this is true. Enjoy your videos bud, thanks!!
Its not worth wasting so much fluid. Better change fluid every 10K or 20K. Will be better for transmission as well rather than introducing clean fluid in one go as gears might start slipping.
You mean, only do one cycle of exchange every 10-20K, instead of 3 cycles at 60K?
@@pbierre That is what I do on my Honda. I change the transmission fluid once every 2 years @ 50,000 km. Honda advises me to change it every 6 years or 160,000 km and do a double drain and refill. But, it is much easier and better for me to do 1 drain and refill every 2 years as I drive the car along the way. Easier for me, cleaner fluid too.
Or just go to a shop and get a flush...
EXCELLENT VIDEO , thanks for doing!
Great job. Same procedure for the Alfa QTronic on the 159/Brera models. Always wanted to do this but sold my 159 so someone else’s problem now... 😜😇

If you can change engine oil you can do this too.
Excellent explanation of “How To Drain And Change Transmission Fluid On Volvo Automatic Transmission, Gasoline Engine Vehicles“ 🚘 🚔
Many thanks for tutorial video it really helped me to change oil in my MONDEO MK4 2.2 2013
What oil did you go for? Ford want stupid money for 1 litter. Did you notice any difference after the oil change?
Chock your rear wheels and use some jack stands to prevent getting crushed. More so since this procedure entails shifting out of park.
Amazing video, great info! Thanks!
Excellent videos. ..I'm considering buying a used xc90 so getting some useful advice and methodology from you ...thanks
Just a perfect explanation. Thanks a lot! It is the same for DSG
NO
Excellent. I just purchased a 2011 T6 from a Volvo dealer, one owner and see full maintenance records via carfax w/no mention of trans fluid change so I will have to get this done.
