Hi All,

Just about to do a transmission flush on my 2001 V70XC, and was shopping around for ATF. Reading the owners manual gave me a little cause for thought, since it states:
"AW5: Only Volvo gearbox oil (1161540-8). Do not mix with other oils"

So - anyone have any experience with Volvo's ATF? Is it synthetic, costs, Dextron-III compat., etc? If I had my druthers, I'd just replace it with Mobil-1, but being that I'm still under warranty, I'd like to err on the side of caution...

Greg
