so just slide it to the Left (referencing the last picture)?

How do I remove this connector from its attachment to the casing? It has a sliding mechanism in the back with a small deterrent but nothing that can be unclipped Do I simply force it? Which way does it slide out? Towards the wires? Thanks

Hello I have been using Motul for years ( 5w 40 X-CESS ) Last year I noted that they had made some cosmetic changes to their Gen2 bottles..... or so I thought. Today I got some new oil delivered and it is of the "old" design but of recent manufacture! Turns out the "new" design are USA blended...

Hello, Need to add PS fluid to a 2004 XC 70 This is something I know nothing about, so please help 1. Manual says ATF 2. FCP Euro : CHF 11S I also have an Audi RS4, suggestions for this car (FCP EURO) are 1. Audi Fluid G 004 000 M2 2. CHF 11S Also have a 2014 XC 70 3.2 Options here are...

How long does it take for the transmission fluid to get down to ambient temp in your experience?

...meaning the correct level is critical unlike engine oil But agree with everyone. I do not think anyone who is on this discussion, by the very nature of it, would get the level outside of a safe range.

I "played around" with the dipstick level in a 2004 Volvo XC 70 and estimated the range between maximum and minimum was less than 100 mls.

The exact level is obviously important. This is how Toyota suggest you check it : In my opinion, start draining as soon as the temperature range is reached and finish draining by the time the upper range is reached would give you the near perfect desired level. Best achieved by getting as get...

So I visited the three major transmission specialists in my area. Two of them would use Valvoline MaxLife if they were to service or recondition a TF 80SC The other would use a Fuchs oil ( Titan ATF 6400)

Ignorance is bliss! I also have an older XC 70 with 180K+ miles and have never reset the counter despite multiple fluid exchanges. I was not aware it was needed for the AW-55. The current car 2013XC 70 3.2 was serviced about 5 months and less than 10K with Valvoline Max-Life. It's running...

Why would changing fluid cause rough shifting?

I think not resetting the counter is equivalent to not resetting the service reminder after an oil change. May eventually get a fault code but no damage will result if not done. Resetting the adaptation only required if the transmission or one of its components has been changed

Hello YZJB The adaptives don't need to be reset unless parts in the transmission have been changed or you are trying to correct some fault in the transmission. The fluid counter measures the number of times the transmission fluid temperature exceeds a set value and sets a code indicating a need...

Thank you. Just got some Toyota WS fluid to supplement the 4L Volvo fluid I purchased. Will be doing a flush of the current Valvoline MaxLife in the next few weeks.

Got it. What are thoughts on Multi-transmission fluids? These are synthetics but they do seem too good to be true. In reality that is what most transmission shops use. Currently in the car is Valvoline Maxlife ATF See 28.28/40.42 See 30:11/1:18
