AFAIK the carlube one is spot on, looking to use it on mine too at that price although apparently the Vauxhall one is even cheaper.

The Calube ATF meets all the specs even quotes the Volvo part number on the label. Make sure its the ATF-U you buy. The GM ATF meets JWS 3309 (states it on the box but not on the bottle?) price will vary depending on the dealer, our local Vauxhall dealer wanted a penny more than EuroCar Parts per litre but car parts delivered to my door free of charge. I have just flushed the box in my 03 T5 using ATF-U did the other one last year with GM ATF.

£?

I was going to Vauxhall tomorrow as they have the same Mobil stuff as Volvo/Saab et al, apparently £5 per litre (ish).

My mechanic used a flushing/cleaning fluid then refilled the box with genuine volvo ATF. Cost £65+vat for the fluid & £20 for the flush & clean.

TBH I would have been just as happy with 3rd party fluid for the costs, but I'd left it up to my mechanic to do the job & he got the real deal. In saying that, I still have about .5lt left in the bottle, so I'll get him to use that the next time I get it flushed in August/September.
