Our research indicates that your vehicle does not have a transmission fluid dipstick. These types of transmissions are designed to be maintenance free. In order to check the transmission fluid, your vehicle likely has check valve on the bottom of the transmission on the bottom of your car. Your car must be level when the fluid is checked and we therefore recommend having a mechanic with a hydraulic lift or underground bay check your transmission fluid. Any fluid leaks for this type of transmission should be treated by a mechanic. Show AuthorHans Angermeier has produced over 100,000 videos showing drivers how to fix things on their cars.

They burn out faster and should be replaced regularly Want an easy way to save $500? Rotate your tires at least three times per year The rear wiper that you forgot you had until it streaks horrifically on a rainy day? Change it now! Don't be the guy with your third brake light burnt out The Volvo Xc90 is classified as a mid-sized luxury crossover SUV. The designation "crossover" speaks to its relationship to passenger cars regarding the chassis and drive train. Volvo includes a 4, 5, or 6 speed automatic transmission in the Xc90. The transmission requires regular maintenance to include maintaining the proper level of transmission fluid at all times. Driving the Volvo with an inadequate level of fluid will cause the transmission to perform improperly; causing unnecessary engine wear, low fuel mileage and eventually transmission damage. Add transmission fluid yourself versus going to a service station, to save time and money. Step 1Pull the hood release lever under the Volvo Xc90's dashboard. The lever is located on the driver's side of the dashboard. Move to the engine compartment. Step 2Reach into the opening between the hood and the front of the vehicle and lift the hood release latch to lift the hood. Step 3Remove the transmission fluid dipstick from the slot on the right of the engine. Wipe the dipstick clean with the towel. Return the stick to the slot, wait 10 seconds and remove it for reading. Step 4Read the fluid level on the dipstick. The fluid should be visible between the two notches near the end of the dipstick. If the fluid level is at or below the lower of the two notches (closest to the end of the stick), additional fluid is necessary. Step 5Place a funnel into the dipstick slot opening and pour transmission fluid into the reservoir. Step 6Replace the dipstick and read the fluid level once more. If the fluid level reads at or near the top notch in the dipstick, the fluid level is adequate. If not, replace the funnel and add more fluid. References Tips
