Questions About 2009 Volvo S80’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Volvo S80? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 S80’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.
