I have a new to me '13 Volvo XC60 with an Aisin AWTF-80 SC transmission. Volvo recommended fluid is AW-1. Aisin catalog recommends Aisin Type WS which I assume is very similar if not the same as AW1. I would like to run a fluid with a better base stock such as Redline D6. My goal is the longevity of the transmission. I am currently planning a 2x or 3x flush with yearly 1x flushes after that. Vehicle has 129k and was dealer maintained prior.
I am considering using Aisin WS or Redline D6. Looking for thoughts on Redline D6 as a replacement for AW-1 or WS. Any other fluids I should consider?
