BigBen is correct, 30k. But check your owners manual.

Since it is a 1990 i would change it every 25 000 km and as it get older you should put better oil quality so it can run a little smooth.

Important:also remember it put the parking brake on before you put it in park because it takes a lot of pressure of the parking gear in the transmission. especially because it is old.
Hope this helped!

i agree with others for 30k changes on normally asperated cars but if yours is a turbo i recommend 15k changes [

Volvo recommends replacing the fluid every 40,000 miles. I would recommend replacing the fluid and filter every 30,000. Make sure the shop, or you check/adjust the kick-down cable at the same time.
