2015 Volvo S80 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S80 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my S80 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Volvo S80 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
