Rolex is a little girl Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 you thought you would just sneak under the radar Mr.Rolex Your name doesn’t look familiar but I’m assuming you are referring my past history here with volvospeed?If so, yes I am back. I really do now own a 2001 S60 T5. (promise I will post pics in the next couple of days).But this one ATF issue is bugging me.. $410.00 for a freakin transmission flush?? WTF did I get myself into? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolex is a little girl Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 buy the kit from ipd (not that you really need it) and do it yourself.Thanks. I found a local distributor where I can buy 3 gallons of mobil 3309 ATF for $49.00 + tax. I can have my local oil change station flush it for $30.00. Would this be the way to go?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeys Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 no, yellow=newYellow ETM = CRAP...... I have a "new" yellow stickered ETM and it still gives me the same bull@#$@ as the original except the dealer is less likely to replace this one unless it just flat out dies. My "Yellow" ETM has not gone all the way bad yet (just surging slightly), but soon will like all the other crappy ETM's. Like Vexed Volvo says, they just need to redesign and replace free of charge for all qualified Volvos. Volvo, Please put an end to the dang ETM problems once and for all!!

Rolex is a little girl Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Sounds like it. good deal.Great. I hope this will work because the dealer guy warned me to flush the transmssion anywahere else besides at the dealer is like palying russian roulette. He says replacing the tranny on my car is $4,200.00. Are you guys 100% positive that the mobil 3309 ATF is a good substitute?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you guys 100% positive that the mobil 3309 ATF is a good substitute?Thanks,Rolex for the tenth time the Mobil 3309 is not ony the substitute but it is the exact oil used by Volvo. It's rebadged and packaged for Volvo at Mobil. Mobil distributors ship this 3309 in 55 barrel drums to dealerships. And they repackage with Volvo Bottling. I posted a thread which I won't look up for you on the subject as did others. I just dumped my 44K old trans oil out and used 9 quarts of the new stuff. It says right on the Mobil bottle it's approved for Toyota and Volvo. And the Toyota trans oil is Mobil 3309 also...It's for Aisin Warner transmissions and that's what Toyota and Volvo have used for the most part recently.Also the Ttech machine is probably used at the dealer or the oil change place and they are the same. One just displaces the oil new for used. Why don't you just drain and fill three times. That gets about 85% of the old out, maybe more. You can do it yourself like an oil change. Drain plug on trans is pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredMc Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Rolex you are a doubting Thomas, I mean so what If a guest is on here. The reply is no more legit. But at least you forced me to officially sign in. Do a search on the subject you will see I am not the only one using Mobil 3309. I just posted to give others the place and phone number to call Vesco Oil in the Detroit area so as not to be ripped off by the dealer (stealer).Your questions all could be answered and have been on prior posts. Do a search and find out if the questions had been asked first.If your concerned about the "proper" engine oil then that's another subject as engine oil is a little argumentative. I feel a true synthetic like Mobil 1 5/30 or German Castrol Syntec 0/30 should be used. I use GC Syntec for your information. Runs fairly well on it. Only available at Autozone and the bottles have to read "made in Germany"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex is a little girl Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Rolex you are a doubting ThomasThanks for all the suggestions. I stopped by my local independent volvo repair shop after work and inquired about a trans flush and the guy said he can do it for $150.00 but only 1 liter (oringinal volvo synthetic atf). He says he can only drain half of whats in there so he will re-fill what he drained. He says this should be sufficient enough. He's done many trans flush on those cars therefore he seems trustworthy. He also said he's heard of the mobil 3309 but never have used it. He's a little skeptical as well. Anyways, I think I might take this route. Thanks again.I have the contact info for those in SoCal who wants to buy mobil 3309 ATF:General Petroleum19501 S. Santa Fe Ave.Rancho Dominguez, CA 90221(800) 659-5823ask for Omar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredo Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi, no problem, Mobil 3309 is recommended for Volvo s AisinWarners transmissionregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHARGER69O1 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 You know there is a full warranty on most all cars wilth ETM's I think now its 10 years or 200,000 miles from the original in service date of the car. There is also a new software that has just come out #155 but your car has to qualify by VIN range. I have herd good reviews from customers with ETM problems. Hope this helps some Yellow ETM = CRAP...... I have a "new" yellow stickered ETM and it still gives me the same bull@#$@ as the original except the dealer is less likely to replace this one unless it just flat out dies. My "Yellow" ETM has not gone all the way bad yet (just surging slightly), but soon will like all the other crappy ETM's.
