Thanks for the great Video. You’re a life/ money saver!!! Did have any

Thank you for the comment and for watching! You are absolutely right, and
this is a step I completely missed, and did not film or mention in this
video. In my later video (plugs for my Dakota), I mentioned this very step.
Great advice and thanks for posting for other to benefit.

Excellent point on the anti-seize, there have been a couple of times I have
seen friends with fouled plugs because they got sloppy with it. Thanks for
the comment and for the tips, and for watching!

@USMCslingshot Thanks for watching and for the comment! That is a great tip
on the autozone parts, how are your rotors holding up? I am thinking the
next time I do the brakes I will shop around at autozone. I am glad you
were able to save your clip! Thanks again for watching!

Jim Hilton says:

Very good stuff. I have the exact same XC-90 2004 big help thanks…. tip
though I went on to replace front rotors and bought them at Autozone and
their website has the years/part numbers wrong the “2003” model actually
fits the 2004 and vice versa. I managed to save my wire clip after watching
you break yours. Keep it up!

Sam Julier says:

Excellent video. The only thing I would add is to vacuum engine top after
the cover panels are removed and the plug hole before the plug is removed
and after the plug is removed.

Just a comment, you are supposed to apply the dielectric grease to the
seals, not on point of electrical contact. Also the anti seize on the spark
plug should be rubbed lightly around the entire thread of the spark plug.
If anti seize gets in the spark plug gap area, it will drastically affect
performance and/ or may not fire on that cylinder properly which could
damage your timing system. I don’t like to use anti seize but rather use a
slight coat of fogging oil. Just a tip

Jim Hilton says:

rotors are good so far, just the confusion of them having the part numbers
mixed up. We’ve had our XC 90 about a year and Im kind of in the same boat
as you it sounds, just doing all the services for the first time. I took it
to Volvo for the first one to have it checked out good but wow, 170.00 for
an oil change! So, I’ll continue to grease up my knuckles I spose.

Thank you for the comment and for watching! That is awesome, and one of the
many reason I made the video! Thanks again for the comment!

Omar Rivera says:

Man, Thank you for taking the time to do this and posting! I had my plugs
replaced by Volvo once and was shocked at the price. My fault for not
researching. This was awesome. I too vacuumed as soon as the top cover was
removed. I did use the anti-seize, a small amount, and as I threaded it in
by hand, I made it point to come back up a little ad go back down on each
one. Like others have said here, you just saved me about $200 bucks!!!

“Make sure you drop your tool, the job isnt done till you do
that”…..hahahaha…..how true, how true πŸ™‚

Vincent Wu says:

Very help. Seems the 2004 XC90 take more work to remove other stuff. Have
you seen the 2005 T5, it seems I only need to remove the top cover only
with a few screws to get to the spark plugs , as there is no pipe to go
across the engine block.

Comments like this are AWESOME! Thank you for watching and posting a
comment! I am glad the video helped, and that is the main reason I post on
YouTube.
