Hi guys, I have just purchased my first Volvo recently. A 1996 Volvo 850 2.0 automatic. (I have never owned a Volvo before) I intend to change all the fluids on the car. However I'm a bit stuck in choosing the correct transmission oil. The manual mentions to use Dexron IIE and Ford Mecron specification. After doing some brief reading on this forum, some people had mentioned they used Comma ATF which met the spec but ruined their gearbox. May I kindly you guys which oil you guys have used or recommend using? Which brand? Spec? And whether to use mineral or synthetic oil etc? May I also ask if it is necessary to flush the transmission several times? Thank you for your assistance
