Auto Gearbox Oil

I am struggling to find the correct oil for the auto box on my 1995 Celebration. Volvo no longer do it - and cannot at present suggest an alternative.

Having done a google search there are posts which state it is a special oil due to additives?

What is the best oil to use please?

Thanks

Chris

PS This is what Opie Oils have recommended - The Fuchs ATF 3353, 4000 or 5005 are ideal for that

I would have thought Dextron II or better ATF would be fine.

They're not a particularly complex 'box, quite agricultural really compared to modern stuff.

Yup, it's Dextron II. Old fashioned but still readily available.

Oh, and I'd stick with Dexron II because you can never empty the box (it retains a few litres). So you'll end up with a mix if you put different or universal (lies) stuff in.
