I just bought a Volvo S60 from a friend. I was checking things under the hood and couldn’t find the transmission fluid stick. I went to the owner’s manual and there’s no mention made of even checking the transmission fluid there. What to do except take it to a dealer?

All pertinent info helps quite a bit. What year, model, mileage, type of tranny ???

The interweb and Google are your friends;
