Excellent videos! To make more room for the filter housing and filter, I also release the two metal "spikes" holding the passenger -side headlight housing. I slid the headlight housing forward enough so the PS reservoir moved into the said space. I am able to re-install the filter AND the filter house together as a unit from the top.
Thank you. Just bought a beautiful xc70. And have been changing my oil for decades, the changing of the filter is unique to Volvo and I appreciate your time in recording this. Very helpful.
Thanks for this and your other videos. Always appreciate the detail and completeness of the information. Volvo should compensate you for making them look so good.
I have a v70 diesel 2009 2.4. I have had it since 2012. I love it and it's still going well and hope it will continue. I like to do small jobs on it and yours is the only videos that gives me the confidence to try it myself. Thank you.
You did a great job :-] Thank you for making such a thorough & detailed tutorial! I just ordered the oil and filter and am going to try my hand at replacing both for our XC60! *fingers crossed*
Thank you for this useful footage. You rock! In my service manual Volvo recommends Castrol. I can't wait to drive my first all electric Tesla and get away with all this nonsense. You inspired me to do my 1st personal hands on oil change tomorrow and I'm over 50. Dealership wants to charge $110 plus I would have to drive 2:40 minutes round trip costing around $90 plus the wait time probably another 2-3 hours. I have the Castrol Edge oil and the filter for $50. So basically Doing the job myself saves me $150 minus my work. Still at least $100.
You are the man. Great how to videos for Volvo. I have a 2016 V60 Polestar and I was looking for a video on how to change oil when free maintance is over. thanks
Thank you so very much for all your detailed videos. They are straightforward easy to understand just as long as needed. No sales pitches, no gimmicks. You rock! God bless you! I drive a 2012 XC70 3.2 and I installed a new battery recently. Is there a way to reset the "Low battery" false indicator? We checked the new battery after 6 weeks it is awesome! The dealership wants to charge me $220 for resetting the computer. I really hope this is my last car with combustion engine. Forget about these crooks. Also now I have rainwater leaking into the cabin close to the driver seat. Most likely the sunroof well drain is clogged. Also no more sunroof for me.
Thank you so this video~ Kind of a XC70 owners forum here at comment section. :) I want to do oil change myself next time because Volvo dealership charges too much for me and Mr. Lube charges C$151 with bad service.
great dyi video. thanks. if I make one suggestion. Find out what the manufacturers torque requirement is for the drain plug. Might be one for the oil filter cover as well.
2009 Volvo XC70. New Brunswick, and I haven't started it yet.. I picked up the oil on sale, and am going to get the filter from the Volvo dealership this week..
guessing that you have not had a problem with setting the filter in then putting cover on vs putting filter into cover then all together in? thanks subd
Great video, however you forgot to lubricate the gasket on the housing of the filter, its no biggie however its far more difficult to remove next time.
It seems that the oil volume for the old T6 B6304T2 2008-2010, as Yuri has, is 7.2 liters whereas the newer B6304T4, 2011-2015, takes 6.8L. Just in case anyone else wondered.
put the key in the ignition and hold the start button down for around 2-4 seconds. then you can scroll through the meny and see the electronic oil meter :D
I also believe that there is a drain plug on the bottom of the filter canister that should be drained? Also, would be great if you could provide torque specs for the canister cap (plastic) and the drain plug. Good video!
Would someone please help me list all the tools I need in order to DIY oil change? Like the socket, the wrench, the black box under tires, etc. So I can do some shopping for 1st DIY oil change. Thanks a million.
36mm socket 6 point. Not a 12 point. A ratchet (3/8 or 1/2 will do) A size 30 TORX bit, and a 17mm 6 point socket A 12 inch extension for whatever size ratchet you got. As for lifting the XC70. You can go to Walmart and they have the black ramps. However. I'd get a 3 ton car jack with 3 ton jack stands.
Great video again! But how are you able to change your number plate every time? In your newer videos it says “Sweden” are you allowed to choose a new one every now and then?
volvosweden that’s so nice! I wish that would have been possible here in Holland, haha! Here the car keeps the same number plate for its whole car life
Добрый вечер. А в vida как правильно установливать масляный фильтр со щелчком или как вы сделали. Я пробовал на запасном корпусе. Если делать как вы, сначала элемент, потом крышку затянуть, то щелчка точно не будет, он не садится в крышку и при демонтаже элемент остаётся в корпусе. У меня сомнения будет ли по вашему способу правильно фильтроваться масло, обеспечено ли уплотнение со стороны крышки ? Что говорит vida на этот счёт?
2013 xc70, changed plugs (gap is correct) changed oil... After starting car, runs rough and check engine light flashes and in gauge cluster " reduce speed or shift up" Did I do something wrong ?
PS reservoir goes down, and then comes out complete. also pull filter u after unscrewing to allow anti drain back to release. you'll hear extra oil draining then. I use Quaker state 5w30 conventional in 09 xc70 and synthetic in our 2011. also had 87 240 with over 500k, no engine work, b230f engine. Les from Saskatchewan
Yes, I just thought you might be re-doing it, not a criticism. I also noticed that you're using Mobil 1, and Volvo recommends Castrol, so I just thought I'd cast another alternative. I've tried Castrol, but have moved back to Quaker State since our XC70 seems happier with the conventional 5W30. We've always used Q/S back to my 1972 142e and we also did dry track racing with Volvo's (at places like Gimli, MB) and the Q/S racing oil (20/50 without an additive package) was the only thing to keep up oil pressure in those older cast iron blocks. I would not recommend the 10W30 in cold SK winters since I blew out the oil seals when I went onto the highway without warming our 1982 240 up. No problems, just had to pull the engine and put in new seals (on delivery tube between pump and oil galleries) after I was driving it for a while with the oil pressure light at low rpm. Yes, pretty dumb. But no damage to either engine bearings (rods, mains) at all. Good oil, IMO. FWIW.
Hi, I have a 2008 XC70 3.2. I have a big problem : the oil filter is completely stuck. I have the right socket but I tried for over 1h just to remove the filter cover with no success. My back and my arms feel awfully painful so I let the car with no oil for now. My wrench is not as long as yours and is blocked by the cables and the steering fluid reservoir. Maybe the solution would be to buy one but I can't use my car to go and buy one... Do you have another idea? The ideal would be not to tow the car to a garage if possible given moreover that I bought for 150$ of supplies for the oil change. It would really help me. Thank you very much
@@volvosweden Thank you. I finally managed to find a long extension, but there is a real problem. It doesn't help... My girlfriend's uncle who used to be a mover is really in shape tried too and he didn't manage to untight it either. None of us understand why. A neighboor told me that maybe he can bring a wrench whose horizontal part is longer to have more torque when unscrewing. I will see
Problem solved. I run with the old filter while finding a solution, but I just bought a wrench like 3 ft long, and a much longer extension bar. It did the trick. I replaced the filter and all is right!
0/40 is better where you are..... i think thats what europe use too.... i use 5/40 in mine :) good job...nice to know volvo relocate the oil filter .... and uses a 36 mm socket ..... i have an 04 xc70 ....gonna grab your style when i switch ..... not for a while tho haha
+Glenn McKee This was my very first oil change when I bought the XC70. Since I am using 0W30. Just recently proved why 0 is better then 5 here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k1x1FgV_1-w.html
Kalvin Lo he has a 2012 s80 T6 turbo since your 2015 then you and him have the same generation T6 so both of ya are 3.0 turbo engines 2006 and older T6s are 2.8 liter size capacity s80 T6 turbo 2007 to 2016 have the same 3.0 engine if yours is v70 T6 it means you have the wagon ..and thats the only difference there is .same drive train (engine, transmission )
Kalvin Lo no its a T6 so its a 3.0 + turbo 3.2 is the naturally aspirated one (non-turbo) for the current generation 3.2 although slightly bigger it is less powerful because its not aided by the turbocharger but mechanically its almost the same ..thats why they both have the same oil capacity which is 7.4 liter if times goes back i would have choose the non turbo version 3.2 its powerfull enough no turbo lag. less maintenance less complex (no turbo means no turbo leak which is hard to reach to repair which means more labor hour for mechanics and if it fails thats one hefty part to buy $$$ + replace even more $$$)
Why in the world do auto shops want to charge over 100 dollars to change the oil in a volvo?? My fiance has a 2008 s80. She told me it costs over 100 the last time she had it changed. I couldn't believe it. So I looked around. Sure enough every place wanted 100 or more. So I looked into doing it myself. It takes nothing fancy!! 5 dollar filter. Standard 5w30 oil. A ten dollar wrench gets the filter cap off. What a bunch of BS. The cost doing it myself would be about 40 with buying the wrench. each time after 30 tops. Unbelievable.
