Volvo JLR Transmission O-Ring - OE Supplier 1233068

Excellent product but overpriced, too bad another OEM vendor can't produce these rubber o-rings. Don't ever fall and believe the dealerships saying: "the transmission is the sealed the fluid never needs changing." Baloney, any oil will bake and harden over time like paste, thats why I service my transmissions once a year, drain and fill with fresh new Pentosin or Volvo ATF.

This neoprene o-ring is fine but, c'mon...... its more that "horribly overpriced". Go to a local hardware or plumbing supply store with your Torx overflow drain plug and buy a slightly snug small diameter replacement. Your o-ring will be flattened like a washer, so get a small gauge o-ring. I'd also spray the o-ring with a preservative like 303 Protectant or similar, for longevity, and use a slight amount of silicone grease under the Torx bolt head with a toothpick. The bolt is barely torqued and the steel hardness in these bolts is variable quality, in my experience. The Torx recess strips easily with any modest corrosion. For that reason, you should get a replacement bolt, too, and they are priced too high as well. My original equipment overflow drain bolt seemed that it had about the hardness of aluminum .... or maybe a pot metal. It was not tempered well, so if you drain your tranny, save yourself the headaches of removing a stripped Torx head from the tight 17mm recess . Get a new overflow drain bolt too.

ORING

Fits perfectly on the Volvo Auto Transmission Drain Bolt. I replace one of these rubber O-rings at final ATF fluid drain. Too bad FCP does not stock the top fill o-ring rubber gasket used in the auto transmission fill plug. I guess it's not needed. I just screwed it back in using the old 0-ring on the fill plug, no problem, no leaks.

Perfect as expected at an unbeatable price
