We have a 2003 XC70 (42K) going off warrenty about this December. I haven't had the opportunity to yet go under the car, pull the skid plate and look. Based on all the bevel gear issues: is it located forward or aft in the drive train: is it apparent how to check the level (plugs?); it sounds like the ATF and bevel gear fluid should be changed every 60K (?), Volvo or synthetic (?). I have been printing out the recent discussions on the ATF being a flush NOT a drain. I find the lack of good maintenance information on this car to be a serious draw back to consider in purchasing an other Volvo (my 940 is getting tired).
I would never have located the AT fluid level stick if not tipped off by this site discussion.
PS: I hope someone at Ford/Volvo checks this site. Word of mouth sold the earlier Volvo's!!!!
