Now loosen the TORX 55 plug (shown here with funnel unserted for refilling): [links]
In my opinion the notion that the ATF is permanent is a load of steaming excrement.
I'm about have a 1-year service indication done on mine no later than oct 20th. Visited my mechanic and specifically asked about automatic fluid change. Got a very firmly "no it should not be done unless very specific driving conditions have been met" which means severe frequent heavy towing, severe city driving and/or severe short trips in severe hot/cold weather etc.
Do I want to gamble on expensive parts like gearboxes just to have it totally RMA denied by Volvo in the end costing us tens of thousands in repairs?
No. And I have no means to do this by my own on top of that.
Have a container (which will hold a minimum of 3 litres) under the drain/level plug now, and catch all the escaping oil so you can measure it later. I removed the level plug first (you have to do this anyway, to allow the 17mm tool to be inserted). When I removed my level plug, around a cupful of oil escaped (engine off, lukewarm, level ground).

(Can't recall what the phenomenon was, though. Are you there "Nene Valley Dizzy"?) [links]
Is the garage right or should he drain some out. He is a pensioner and so does not use the car that regularly.
A friend has just had his 2001 VW Golf 1.6 serviced by the VW main dealer and it shows the oil level about 8mm over the max level. He contacted the garage who just shrugged and said don't worry.
I recall that these 3.1 TD engines self-destruct if overfilled.
I'm always here, Rob! You obviously remember that we discussed this very subject before where I chipped in with the following posting: www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=13740&. e [links]

Overfilling engine oil can be nearly as hazardous to the health of your motor as driving down the road with your car bone dry, but you rarely, if ever, hear anyone talk about this unusual situation under the hood. Although oil is vital to your vehicle’s operation, having too much lubricant can actually counteract the very system that’s intended to transport it throughout the motor and keep things spinning happily and safely. Understanding what to do should you accidentally overpour can go a long way toward keeping your vehicle in the best shape possible.
The fact that too much or too little engine oil can harm your vehicle’s motor indicates just how important it is to regularly check your vehicle’s dipstick. It’s a little bit of prevention that can pay off significantly over the life of your automobile.
In most vehicles, the crankshaft that drives the engine’s pistons sits just above the oil reservoir located at the bottom of the oil pan. In order to move lubricant throughout the motor, a pump pressurizes it and draws it up from the pan (or sump), so it can be sprayed in key areas. Overfilling engine oil can raise the level of oil in the pan to the point where the crankshaft starts to make significant contact with the reservoir. Since it moves so fast, it can turn the oil from a liquid into a froth that the pump is no longer able to siphon and distribute. At that point, the engine can starve from lubricant to the degree that serious damage is often the end result.
