Obviously I'm not saying don't change it if you want to but Volvo were quite reasonable in expecting a 20 year old car to have reached end of life. We just know they go on for a lot longer if looked after !

Volvo have never said sealed for life at all, It is just an urban Internet Myth. Volvo have always have a service schedule for an oil change for a long as i can remember. its 48000 miles in your case and optional like brake fluid ( every 2 years ) when booking in the service reception should quiz you to find out exactly what you need and advise you..
I suggest you get your ATF Changed and properly serviced as per the list !
