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.

[@olofanderberg9392]

VIDA does NOT reccomend resetting the adaption when been doing a oil change. Only the oil change counter. Also remender, this is not the prosedure that is recommended by VIDA. The correct way to do this prosedure is to pump out the fluid 2 ltrs by each time through the transmission oil cooler.

[@danielhermansen9372]

Never reset the adaptions on a used transmission. Adaptions reset is only for when a transmissions has been rebuilt or had significant components replaced. Only reset the fluid counter for a service like this

[@sergeibzk]

Thank you very very much for this quality made video guide, you even included factory recommendations! 🔥 It's very helpful since our shop doesn't have VIDA software.

[@tridongo1432]

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

[@evolutionmotors9374]

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.

[@sreviz]

Thank you for details. Very clear with tips and straight forward.

@ Evolution Motors Sir, Great Quality video. Would it be the same process and fluids on a 2007 XC90? Thanks.

[@evolutionmotors9374]

Yes it will

[@RodsAndPistons]

@@evolutionmotors9374 thank you for taking the time to respond. You have a great day!!!!

[@davidjoles9737]

The fill plug isn't where you stated. Mine is turbo cylinder. The air box and some part of the ecm is located there

[@sergeibzk]

What gearbox do you have?

[@davidjoles9737]

@@sergeibzk 8 speed. I assume tiptronic

[@sergeibzk]

@davidjoles9737 I assume this guide is for TF-80SC and TG-81SC. Which one do you have?

[@davidjoles9737]

@@sergeibzk Don't know

[@sergeibzk]

@@davidjoles9737 That's alright. You can check it on the top of the gearbox , there is aluminium label

[@phenyobaughan]

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)

[@phenyobaughan]

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.

[@evolutionmotors9374]

It can take 15 to 20 minutes.

[@artex558]

I have 2013 Volvo V60 D2 1.6l diesel with PowerShift auto gearbox. Where do I locate transmission dip stick? Or it doesn't even have one?

[@johnboy007]

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

[@evolutionmotors9374]

If you live in a hilly or dusty area they recommend every 30k miles. For most people 50k is just fine.

[@graemepryke4684]

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.

[@evolutionmotors9374]

No. The only thing to reset is the oil life counter. It doesn’t need to be reset.

[@evolutionmotors9374]

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.

[@PisaPis-bc9up]

Ok but how to change the oil filter? The filter is very dirty and clogs oil. Not only does changing the oil help.

[@evolutionmotors9374]

The only way to change the filter is to dismantle the transmission. It’s not intended to be serviced. I know crazy right?

[@PisaPis-bc9up]

Japanese theft.I would not allow such a thing to be sold.

[@PisaPis-bc9up]

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?

[@evolutionmotors9374]

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.

[@PisaPis-bc9up]

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.

[@berniel3358]

So you didn't bother to check the torque fot the screw?

[@evolutionmotors9374]

Oh yes, it’s 25 foot pounds.

[@edwardperez7665]

So much oil do you need? is it 3 quarts or 10 quarts total?

[@Simon_van_Bentum]

It is 3 quart per flush. He flushed it 2 times. The third time the 3 quarts stay in the transmission box (3x3=9 plus 1 for spilling etc is about 10 quarts).

[@evolutionmotors9374]

It usually takes around 10 to 11. I drain and fill 3 times.

[@oc4132]

Is it same procedures on Volvo xc60 2009 2,4 diesel automatic?

[@evolutionmotors9374]

Yes it should be.

[@oc4132]

Cheers man

[@evolutionmotors9374]

Thanks for your comments. I'm not sure. We don't get the diesels over hear in the states.

[@michaelkennedy8573]

Does this box not have a filter?

[@evolutionmotors9374]

It does but it is internal and requires transmission rebuild to replace.
