Unfortunately you will not find the Manual gearbox filler / drain plugs under the Air box... they are positioned around the nearside inner driveshaft / gearbox housing and you'll have to remove the wheel & tyre to gain clear access. Remember to alway remove the filler plug (top one) first just incase you're unable to open the lower drain plug. ATB

Here are a few pix to illustrate the Manual 6 Speed gearbox oil fill & drain plug location on my '09 XC60 D5 AWD for anyone who's unsure.
First two pix show the fill plug location and the last two the drain plug. I hope this helps.

I changed the manual gearbox oil at 70,000 miles on my XC60 D3 2.0 and it shifted that bit more smoothly when cold. I found that the genuine and correct oil from Volvo is hardly more expensive than off the shelf oils at Halfords. Changing the oil plug copper washers is a must.

![]() I agree about using fresh copper washers being a "must" to prevent potential leaks.

A little contribution...
Volvo V70 D3, 2013, 164 Kmiles, M66 manual gearbox oil changed today. Got 2 liters of the original Volvo 31280771 oil for 68 EUR. So, glad I did it in spite of the service manual fact that it doesn't ever need changing (unless towing or taxi?). Two photos showing the diff between the old and the new oil proving that there's something going on with the oil and it's not good. Both compared oils are original oils. Changing gears was smooth and nice before, and I was pleasantly surprised that it noticeably improved smoothness even more. And also barely noticeable clunk which could be heard when rapidly (in less than a second) putting in the first gear after depressing the clutch is completely gone ![]() The oil I got had production date 2024-03-26 and it has a shelf life of 5 years as printed on the bottle. Be aware of that when buying the oil, because you may get bottles from (very) old supplies, too old ![]()
