If you do decide to change the tranny fluid - I suggest a "slow" change - drop the fluid in the pan then top off the fluid with clean stuff - do this every oil change until the fluid has a good color.

If you check your maintenance manual, I think this is what Volvo recommends for your car, every 30 or 40 k miles - many owners and mechanics do not do this.

If you do not have a manual, I think you can download one from Volvo's site. Or a dealer may have a copy of a 1 page summary. I have a of several summaries of different models that I got from my dealer. I think that the techs use them when servicing older cars.

When you check the fluid level. use the proper procedure. In most cases this involves driving the car for a half hour or so, put the shift lever into every gear position put the car in park then check the fluid with the engine idling.

It is a good idea to do this after a trip as to not waste gas - don't forget to put the car in park!
