I have done any diy on my volvos including brakes, timing belt, etc but as a rule I have tried to avoid dealing with fluids like oil, coolant etc. yesterday I broke that rule and did a simple oil change on my 240. What a mess. I will be bringing my 2015 xc70 to the dealer. In the video there is a lift, proper light and a nice big collection tray.
Delightfully simple just like the p2s, so no excuse to not change the oil regularly. Love the drain plug on the oil filter housings, saves making a mess.
I had a good little chuckle seeing they used P2 hood insulator clips to hold the splash cover on and what looks like the same oil drain plug and washer as a P2 as well. Nice to know my stockpile of 25 crush washers should work fine on ny next S60.
My wife's 2015 V60 T5 2.0L Turbo 4cyl was bought this past fall with 72k mi. Had a fresh oil change at a Volvo dealership with the recommended 0-20 Castrol and tag that said to change oil in 10k mi. I had to add oil after the first 400mi. that she drove it. I added a quart and another 400 mi. later I needed to add another quart. Instead of the recommended oil I put in a quart of Marvle Mystery Oil. After another 400mi. I needed another quart, this time I added a 20% mixture of MMO and oil and she has since driven the car over 800mi and the level is still showing full. All I can think of is that the rings were stuck and the detergent in the Marvel Mystery Oil unstuck them. I will be changing the oil way before the 10k mark. Hope the oil consumption issue get better and doesn't come back.
@@aguiremedia As of now it is only burning/using a quart every 1,200 to 1,500mi. It goes down the more I put my foot in it. I would love to remove the pistons and enlarge the oil drain back holes and rering it to see if that would stop the oil consumption altogether. Or just get an engine from a auto salvage to rebuild then swap it out.
Hey, thanks for the video, you did not show the effect of the Ceratec / flush. BTW is the flush and additives really necessary if I use high quality oil such as Motul 0W20 Volvo approved oil?
I am confused about the Ceratec: I thought this was NOT compatible with wet clutches. As far as I am aware all Volvo S/V 90 from 2017 use wet clutches in their auto gear boxes. Could you please clarify? Thank you. Yours is another superb video (usually I watch the ones re Porsches) and superbly produced as well, superb work which is appreciated
Hi Six, you are correct in not wanting to use Ceratec with wet clutches! Ceratec would be acceptable for a manual gearbox vs an auto with any clutch components in it. Thank you for the continues support!
I'm not sure if I understand your concern, but in the video he's adding ceratec directly to the engine. This has no affect on the transmission. Adding ceratec to a wet clutch transmission when doing a transmission oil change will damage the transmission, but adding ceratec to the engine has no such effect.
@@knut5748 C30 and V50 are actually P1 platform vehicles. The P3 platform covers V40II, V40CC, S60II, S60CC, V60, V60CC, XC60, V70III, XC70II, S80II from 2007 to 2017. The new Volvos are on the SPA platform also called P5 and the CMA platform, or P6 if you like.
You need to deduct volumes for the additives! Do not simply pour in half a liter/liter of the flushing agent if your oil level is on max already! Literally says so on the bottles from LM... Same goes with Ceratec, you need to deduct it from your total oil fill volume...
Assuming the vehicle has had regular changes with high quality synthetic oil, can anyone point to any evidence that using a 'flush' product is beneficial?
@@Timur4593 I agree, but unfortunately the term 'Synthetic' is able to applied to relatively low quality oils just the same as high quality oils. The 'Special Tec V' oil used in the video is a very old formulation. Plenty of cheaper & better options available now. Any good quality API SP rated Synthetic is superior.
I noticed that Volvo is sending out letters indicating that my 2017 Volvo XC90 should be using 0W-20 oil rather than the originally specified 5W-30 oil. Can you share some insight? I have a call into volvo to find out why the sudden change of oil recommendation but I'm assuming it has to do with fuel consumption and turbo/engine life? Any inside information would be helpful. thanks
My brother works at a volvo dealer. He asked the master tech and was told that all the 2.0l 4 cylinder turbo engines should only be using the 0w-20 oil.
Hi there, If we vacuum the engine oil from the engine oil check stick hole . How many litres oil left and will it be still helpful for car to change the oil this way. Kind Regards
If you want to see how much is left behind, you can pull the drain plug after suctioning the oil out. All vehicles are going to be slightly different. The amount should be so minimal that there is no need to change how much oil you are filling with.
On these Volvos do they have the air bag suspension, where before you lift it you have to decompress the air pressure otherwise it'll fuck it up and cost a lot to replace that suspension part. I know the Land Rovers have them.
thanks for all the tips and tricks, very informative videos; but, just one question. Is there a way to manually check for the oil level? I mean, so if your battery runs out of juice it is not possible to check the oil level? I simply do not trust computers
@jamdc2000 no you are not old fashioned. It makes sense to have redundancy. It's convenient to have a digital read cause you're more than likely to check it more often and it helps with making sure there is nothing wrong like a possible leak. But of course if the comp breaks, it is good to have a way to check it manually to make sure.
@@thatsonebadhatharry8610 not so easy Einstein, the engine has to be started and ran to working temperature before you can check it, without oil, you can ruin an engine in 10 seconds. I wouldnt mind being the first owner, but when someone buys that car in 3 or 5 years he or she will face a serius issue characterized by leaks and failing gaskets well known in BMWs. I buy repair and sell VWs here in my country, trust me it will be a serious issue.
Volvo XC90 2016 manual saids 5W-30 weight. You recommend this 0W-20 lighter weight oil? I'm looking to doing this, and I want to make sure I use the right oil. I live in northern Cali
@@alexsu6872 interesting that they are finding this out 5 years after the first models rolled off the manufacturing floor? Do you know if they are going to offer owners an extended warranty on their engines? Doubtful but hoping there's someone has some inside info....
You can check the manual in your radio. My 19 xc40 takes 5w30 or 0w30 but in extreme condition I can use 0w20. I use 0w30 for the best all around especially in winter
Why was the cleaner use before the oil change? Surely there couldn't be that much cleaning needed in a three year old engine just to put an oil additive in it. These engines are know for oil consumption so the oil should never get dirty to begin with.
The link below is how to reset maintenance notification czcams.com/video/pRYjDrqSUPw/video.html also would be nice to see new videos how to flush engine coolant

So use less?
Engine capacity is 6.2, and he used 5 + the 1L flush. ADHD much?
Assuming the vehicle has had regular changes with high quality synthetic oil, can anyone point to any evidence that using a 'flush' product is beneficial?
There is no benefit. Synthetic oils have detergent packages that perform cleaning overtime. 5k mile intervals will keep the engine super clean.
