Hi Pete, if you're going to change the gearbox oil you'll probably need about 10 to 15 litres of Dextron III. This will allow you flush the system free of contaminates.

Here's a quick link how to flush the system:

VolvoSpeed - Auto Box Flush

The very last paragraph explains how to do it at home...
