I am sorry to have lost Chow, he brought up interesting points and I believe wrote form the heart. The fact I didn't agree with him is another matter.
For anyone who dosent realise ...I am the Amsoil importer. Consider my writting biased. Don't believe me and do do your own resarch on the web. Then place your orders... As for dealers; these poor chaps are having one hell of a hard time. It is a fact that more auto service dealers are going to the wall than any other branch (twig) of the economy. If you seriously don't believe that any dealer would to survive offer something to clients that maximises his profits rather than provides the best quality at the best price I am wasting my time. Having said that I know that I am not as I continually get orders from Volvo owners. Having said this I do wish you all a very merry christmas as its now show time and I may not have any time to reply on this forum until the new year (but I will try ) |

I have used 0/30 Amsoil from 2001 from 125k to 400k (Mobile 1 from 59k) with by pass filtration taking out dirt down to 1 micron (dirt kills engines).
Laboratory oil anaylsis has shown over fueling, antifreeze to oil contamination and just lately, a tappet riding on the back of the cam (no clearence) iron parts per million rising. Got all the ideas from Volvo Technical. Can't fault it. People are now asking will it go 500k...........Easy BrianH |

Amsoil synthetic ATF
Just thought I'd add my tuppence worth
Most of my Volvos have been autos - by the nature of Volvos they've been high mileage, all over 100k. I decided to change the ATF on a 960 as the gear changes were getting a bit sluggish and the overall performance was dropping. I looked into the various alternatives and did some reading of the Brickboard - the Volvo Owners Forum of our American friends. After getting resounding positive feedback about Amsoil I bought some from the US and had it shipped over... It wasn't cheap! The transformation was instant and obvious - it was more responsive, powerful and the economy was improved. To be honest, it had perhaps 160k miles up and I'm not sure whether it had ever been changed, so simply having fresh ATF would have improved matters, but every since I've only used Amsoil. Can't recommend it highly enough. I know this sounds like a sponsored advert, but I assure you I'm just a happy customer

Is the discount just for oil?
Anyone aware of discounts on Volvo parts?

Benny, Okay on your say so we submit, the fluid is synthetic. Heresay and not correct at all. If you live in Clawson, then you work for Suburban Volvo. I can tell you that the part no. of the trans fluid was given to their service department by moi. They ALL said it's not synthetic, but shrugged their shoulders in explaining why it cost $18 a quart. Even the bottle from the Dealers doesn't say it's synthetic. Aisin Warner requires JWS 3309 oil spec fluid for that trans. And it's NOT a synthetic fluid. What you say in no way shape or form trumps 3 forums who 99% say Mobil 3309 and Volvo trans fluid is one in the same. It's not special and it's not synthetic. No literature exists from Volvo or Mobil to say it's synthetic. None. It's an old wives tale to substantiate the inflated pricing from the Stealerships. The forums is for education and learning. We have all learned it is Mobil 3309 and NOT synthetic. Your comment "i have access to all volvo info and technical support" implies that you can find this information. Go ahead and find it then. Find me one shred of evidence that say the Volvo Fluid is synthetic and this has to come from Volvo. Or, rather, find me the source of the Volvo fluid and have them quote that's it's synthetic. You can't provide that. So how do you know so well that's it's synthetic? You absolutely do not know that. You only over heard it and repeated it like it was gospel... NEW DEALER STOCK, VOLVO TRANSMISSION FLUID - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. A MINERAL OIL SUITABLE FOR AW55-50SN AND AW50-42LE. THE OIL PROVIDES AN EASY GEAR CHANGE AT LOW TEMPERATURES AND OPTIMUM PROTECTION AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.

IN ORDER TO SPECIFY THE CORRECT OIL FOR THE CAR, ALWAYS CHECK THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE CAR TECHNICAL DATA: DENSITY: 870 Kg/ cu M BASE: MINERAL OIL LOWEST FLOW POINT: -65.2F FLASH POINT: 388F VISCOSITY @ 104F: 40 sq mm/sec VISCOSITY @ 212F: 7.5 sq mm/sec VOLVO PART NUMBER 1161640. This is the Manual trans fluid data sheet NEW DEALER STOCK, VOLVO TRANSMISSION FLUID - SYNTHETIC. A MULTIGRADE SYNTHETIC OIL INTENDED FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS IN PASSENGER CARS.

Just a caution about USA claims that an oil is a synthetic, since the big oil companies won the court case they are alowed to label refined mineral oil as synthetic.
Oil sold in Europe must still be correctly identified though.
