None of the issues were fluid caused. All common wear issues with many transmission caused by lack of good filtration and lack of regular ATF maintenance.
Since its a fluid attack, just want to know what fluid supposedly is directly related to a Volvo failure.
Use the RP MaxATF, Amsoil ATF, Amalie, Redline D4...
1. Not fluid related.
2. Common in all makes/models
3. What wrong fluid?
4. What fluid?
5. No kidding. They are smart enough to change ATF because automaker didn't tell them to.
6. Any proof? Stereo failed and keyfob battery died. Must be the ATF.
7. Not proven. No correlation but believable if some generic Type-F or SA, Dex-II or some obsolete garbage fluid was used.
8. Means nothing.
9, 10, 11.
Shows T-IV Research before jumping to conclusions and spreading bogus fear.
12. My experience is a little differing. Owner abuse and negligence, along with silly manufacturer recommendations, caused most issues. Even the 'soft' metal wear can be reduced or prevented with ATF filtration. Compounded wear kills the VB. That chain reaction of wear could've been prevented with earlier maintenance, improved filtration, and when abused, improved cooling, and by using an ATF that protects better than T-IV/3309.
