Re: 780 Auto Trans filter change

The filter is actually a mesh screen and indeed no longer needs to be cleaned per Volvo TSB. Check www.swedishbricks.net for the 7xx/9xx Maintenance FAQ for specific fluid flush instructions, all done via one of the cooler lines. DON'T use compressed air. I believe that this car takes Dexron III; given its quality and the turbo in front, you might want to try a synthetic (Castrol Syntec ATF or Mobil 1 ATF); both are Dexron compliant. They have much better lubricity and hot/cold characteristics and I have found far fewer wear particles in the pans after using them in my five cars.
