Questions About 2008 Volvo XC90’s Transmission

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your XC90’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my XC90's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Volvo XC90 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Volvo. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Volvo XC90 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Volvo XC90 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your XC90 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
