Questions About 2011 Volvo XC70’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Volvo XC70? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your XC70 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my XC70's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Volvo XC70 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Volvo's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Volvo XC70? Yes. Volvo XC70 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
