Questions About 1993 Volvo 940’s Transmission

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1993 940’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Volvo, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Volvo 940 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Volvo 940 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
