New (used) V70 V70-XC70 2004

posted by  someone claiming to be John on  Mon Mar 23 10:15 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Bought a used 2004 V70 and would appreciate input on recommended first steps. It was serviced at a dealer until warranty end (145,00 kms. on it now) but no records available since the warranty ran out. I understand the first timing belt change is due at 168,000 kms. Dealer looked it over and reports it's in OK shape but fluids need changing (coolant and tranny), so in addition to those I would also change the engine oil and check the tire pressure.
Anything else (brake fluid, power steering...)? Also, how can I determine what tranny it's got (VIN#?), and what type of fluids are recommended.
Is it worth switching to synthetic engine oil?
Thanks
