Hi list,

was out for a spin in the lifting fog and sunshine today and stopped by a
friend's place, he's a Volvo Mechanic.  In general talking, I mentioned the J
O/D, and also that my 6 is sluggish/hard to shift when cold.  He asked my oil,
a 75W/80, and said it was too thick.  Told me I should use an ATF - Dexron and
that the J types work well with this.

Can anyone confirm this?  The manual I have - Bentley's IIRC, says use what
I'm using, the 75W/80.

Comments appreciated
