Got some weird advice from the dealer today 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Ed on  Fri Apr 13 19:06 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'm moving to California from chicago, about a 2100 mile drive and will be towing a trailer to haul all my stuff. I just got the car about a week ago, figure I should do all the maintenance stuff before I leave. So I call up the dealer and ask if I need to change the transmission fluid before I leave (I have a manual). To my surprise, the guy said if I haven't changed it, it shouldn't be changed, esp since there is 90k on the car. He said Volvo doesn't have a scheduled maintainence for the transmission fluid and if I start changing the fluid now, it might lead to more problems than if I left it alone. He just told me to drive slower, to keep the transmission from over heating.

Hey, I don't know nothing about Volvos, but that sounded a little screwy to me. Just want to check with everyone first before I do/don't do anything to my car.
