best place to get gearbox fluid these days

djneils98 · Jun 25th, 2022, 16:15

thinking of doing a sump dump on my 2005 v70

where is the best/cheapest place to get fluid?
how much should I order?
is it best to dump the fluid out of the sump at the bottom or suck it out of the dip stick with a pump?
thanks

I got mine from ebay IIRC about 40-50 quid for 10ltrs?

Should be about 3 ltrs per drain, some get a little more some get less

Bottom plug removal is surely best for letting the bits of crap come out

thanks - do you remember what the spec number is for the fluid ?

there are lots of different brands of JWS3309 fluid on eBay - are they all ok or are some better than others?

this is the one I used:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303081766587

i think the price has gone up a bit (typical lately I suppose) and currently zero available at this point im afraid..

I can only see 20L at the moment which is a bit much but actually the price is decent per litre https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303081772419

maybe you can find someone near you who wants to do the same job and split the cost of it or something

thanks mate - probably only want to get 5 litres this time though
this brand is a good price for 6 litres but is it worth getting a cheaper brand?
