Yeah, yeah- so its me again....as I got a new to me 1997 960 sedan with just 104K now, and it has some issues, of which I am conquering, slowly but surely, and of course with the help of BrickBoard users!
Now I plan on running this car for awhile, (it could be my last Volvo!)
and having endured two blown trannies with 740's previously, I want to ensure to the highest and best capacity available the longevity of this unit.

So does anyone have knowledge, expertise, and or experience with:

Is synthetic fluid a wise choice? Why?

Which brand and type is optimal?

Does my car have a replaceable filter?

How often should the fluid and or the filter be replaced?


As always, thanks a lot for all your input guys- Mike!
