Hi Abdul.....Snap mate, We're doing mine next week while it has a service.

Been reading up on it the last few days, and i'm going to use
Volvo Dexron 111. Ordered it this morning from my local dealers in Ipswich.
They sell it in 4ltr bottles at £35 ea. I ordered 2 bottles as the Box holds 7.6ltrs. Gonna do a good flush out with cheap stuff first. Thought i'd go with the Volvo fluid as you know its good stuff. Might be more expensive, but worth it in the end to look after the box.
Also bought a new Oil filter, Air filter & a touch up pen in Saffy (these 3 = £27!). Dicky.:)

Looking to do mine as well.

Been reading the how-too's on here. And most people advise that you need at least 12 litres if you are going to do a good flush.

Might do like above. But some cheap stuff first and then fill up with the better stuff.
