You need to "flush" the Transmission Fluid by running new fluid through to force the old out. ONLY use the Mobil 3309 fluid in your car (or what the dealer provides but its a rip off for the same stuff). This site has a good write up... http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=31650

Where do you check automatic transmission fluid level in a 2002 Volvo s 60?
It's a sealed transmission. You'll have to take it to a Volvo dealership.
How often change oil transmission for Volvo s 60 and what kind oil use?
Volvo tries to charge and arm and a leg and a pinky for their Volvo Transmission Fluid. The fluid is the same as Mobile 3309 transmission fluid. You can also use Toyota's T4 fluid as well. Both cost a FRACTION of the cost of what Volvo charges. And on top of this, I spoke with a transmission place, and they told me that a standard $80 fluid change is all that's needed and that you don't even need any "special" transmission fluid. This latter point is on you to decide. Speak with a transmission specialist and also research with Google about the Mobile 3309, you'll see.
When do you change transmission fluid on a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country?

What kind of transmission fluid does a 2003 Volvo v40 take?
What kind of Transmission fluid does a Volvo S60 Take 2003 Both the 40 series and the 60 series use a fully Synthetic trans fluid. DO NOT just put any old trans fluid in there. Those that have flushed these transmissions with the older Mercon/Dexron fluid found out they made about a $3,000 mistake. Castrol Syngard meets and exceeds ALL 2000 and newer Volvos excluding the S80 with the GM transmission in it. The S80 GM style transmission that comes with the 2.9 and the twin turbo 2.8 uses Mercon/dexron. If you have a hard time finding the Castrol for your car the dealers do keep it in 1 litre containers but be prepared, it is a bit pricey
Transmission flush or transmission fluid change for 2000 honda accord What is the difference Mechanic wants 60 more for a flush?
A fluid change means they are draining the fluid and replacing it with fresh fluid. There are 2 types of fluid changes. In one they only drain the transmission pan, replace the filter and refill it. That leaves lots of old fluid in the torque converter. In a complete fluid change they replace all the fluid in the system with fresh fluid including the fluid in the torque converter. Make sure you for sure get this service done and not just a partial fluid change. In a flush they remove all the fluid and flush the system with a chemical detergent that removes varnish and all dirt from the system. In theory this sounds like a good thing but the reality is that this can cause problems if some of these particles stay in the system and later cause problems. If you car is high mileage, as in over 100,000 miles, I would not recommend you have a transmission flush. Just get a complete fluid and filter change.
Transmission flush or transmission fluid change for 2000 Honda accord. What's the difference Mechanic wants 60 more for a flush.?
Sorry, I do not know. You just pull a drain plug to drain the transmission. To flush the transmission, he needs to drain the transmission, remove a cooler line, run the engine while filling the transmission so the torque converter can discharge any contaminated fluid. Your fluid must have shown sign of overheating for him to suggest that. Good/smart mechanic. Need more like him.
How do you change your aerio automatic transmission fluid?
You will need to take your Suzuki a dealer or a shop that specializes in changing the fluid. From what I was told they stick a hose down where you fill it up at and suck the old out. They then pump new into it. I've seen them charge around $60 but that was on a big vehicle.
How do you drain transmission fluid in 2001 galant?
There is a metal tube that runs on the lower side of the radiator to a rubber tube. This tube should be undone and fluid allowed to drain. The engine should then be run at idle (transmission in N) for no longer than 60 seconds (!!) or if all the fluid runs out prior to 60 seconds stop then (!!). About 3.7 quarts should have run out. There is a bung on the underside of the transmission, close to the tyre. Undoing that will release the fluid from the pan. About 2.1 quarts should have drained out.

Maintenance on 2001 Toyota Camry transmission does the fluid need changing?
Of course, it does. The transmission fluid must be changed each 60 000 miles or less. If you drive in severe conditions (mountains, snow and so on) regularly you have to changed it even more often.
Should a 2004 Lincoln Town car with 30000 miles change the transmission oil or wait until 60000 miles?
Please change the Transmission Fluid to Mobil One Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid to prevent wear on clutch pack and wear on valve body. Also Mobil Synthetic Trans Fluid is higly resistant to high temperatures that will cause conventional auto trans fluid to produce varnish and increase wear. I currently have a 1997 Town Car with 148 thousand miles and the original trans is still in the car. Also the car shifts solid and is currently getting me 22-24 MPG at 60-65 MPH on Highway. Please be aware that the new synthetic fluid will last at least 60K miles before need for change. I have noticed that when my trans fluid needs to be replaced it has a sluggish shift between 1st and 2nd gears. After trans fluid change to new synthetic fluid the car immediately shifts well and gets increased mileage. Hope this helps. Jim
