Questions About 2013 Volvo S80’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Volvo S80? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S80’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my S80's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 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. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Volvo, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Volvo S80? Yes. Volvo S80 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Can I still drive my Volvo S80 if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your S80 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
