I think that fluid is a dexron3 one and not compatible with the volvo Aisin Warner transimision

sandrish1974 · Feb 20th, 2008, 18:10

Hard to say is not compatible,all oils in Europe made in same place,but names can be changed.Volvo have agreement with Mobil that is one of arguments.

I wouldn't be so sure. Volvo spec is 3309 ATF (same as Toyota T-IV and Opel 3309) but that isn't the same as Dexron III, for a start 3309 has special friction modifiers for the clutches in these AW gearboxes, which no Dexron spec oil has.

There is certainly more than one type of ATF for Europe, many in fact.

Personally, I wouldn't dare put anything other than 3309 in an AW55 gearbox, it's a false economy if it kills the box after all!

I bought 12L for mine at a total cost of £88 inc. VAT from a Vauxhall dealer. I don't think that's so much to pay to ensure it's the right stuff myself.
