I needed a refresher and this video was most excellent for the quick look
at what I was doing, thanks.
An excellent dirt stupid film showing you how to change the oil on the
Volvo S series vehicles. Your right about the oil filter wrench as there is
no other way to get the plastic filter cartridge cover off. I have the AST
V410 oil filter wrench and it works great to remove the cartridge cover.
Thank you for putting in the time to make this film.
I have Volvo S80 2003 D5. Can i use this method?
also, my 2002 s80 holds almost 7.5 quarts of oil
Thanks for providing a good tip!
Is this the same process, I could use for my 2004 volvo s80?
would a 2006 S80 have same method as u mentioned? thanks
i have a o1 volvo s80 t6 twin turbo, what kind of oil shouild i use? thanks
ya i got it to work..the metal prongs on the outside needed to be adjusted
Nice video. How do you get the residual oil out of the bottom of the pan?
Im sure there must be a little bit of extra oil down there.
@icklearly I always keep the car on the jacks when draining.
Good job mate. However, you did neglect to mention the inclusion of the
aluminium crush washer on the sump plug. This is required to prevent
leakage from the sump plug. If you buy your oil filter from a Volvo parts
department, they will include a washer for an extra $1. I previously bought
my oil filters from Canadian Tire and they didn’t include the washer, and
I’d wonder why my oil would leak. And as a bonus the price is right too:
@418casey The stone guard is 3-5 pounds, it’s not real heavy, but a bit
bulky. i comes off easy, but getting it back on is a bit of a pain–you
have to crawl underneath the car, position the guard to align the bolts,
and—bolt it back on.
@timetotravel ooh ok,,.,ya its a Es300..what lexus are going to have..
No it’s not. 19mm is the same as 3/4″, not 17mm.
Awesome! take good care of your volvo.. and it wil last for ever 😉
not sure but if you buy the filters on-line, the vendor should have a tool
i get my filters and wrench at ipdusa d-o-t c-o-om
Great video…..really useful! !! Thanks
@emk5: Fram oil filter from Canadian Tire – approx $24 CAD Genuine Volvo
part with washer – $16 CAD
took my oil filter cap off with a old timing belt no need for a special
tool
@Tahababa21 All Volvo dealerships use Castrol GTX, which isn’t a synthetic
oil.
Hahaha, pretty funny how you call this guy a dumb ass while using the
grammar of a 4 year old paulsy victim. Apparently you didn’t hear him at
the end when he said to start the car to run oil through the filter and to
re-check it after that. Read a book or something and save us from your
ignorance before you go attacking someone you don’t know over the
internet… Not only is that ignorant, but it’s also very cowardly.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
should I keep the car on the jacks when the oil is draining or should the
car be on all four wheels?
@MoniWooOOooooOOOOOOW Good questoin. I recommend calling IPD USA (where i
buy most of my stuff) and ask them.
@avolikk Good question. Many purists will recommend synthetic. I used to
use only that, but now that my car is worth just a few thousand–i use
cheaper stuff. I generally only use Castrol GTX. I’ll make the bold
statement that i’m not sure there’s really a difference. I suggest doing
some more research.
Don’t use anything but a 17mm box end wrench. The drain plug is already
rounded and has very little flats to grab on to.
@intricateintac Sorry dude. I’ve not got a diesel. The vids here are me
working on my own car.
You’re a good talker.
hello, I changed the oil today on my 2001 s80 model. everything went well
but I ran into trouble draining the oil tank. it seemed the bolt had
rusted, or it was really stubborn and hard to take out of the tank. so now
that I’ve changed everything and reattached the drain bolt, it’s started to
leak. any suggestions? i’m wondering if I stripped the bolt taking it off
or worse, stripped the thread on the tank itself.
And to think I almost deleted hans kilas comment due to lack of value.
Thanks Euclid218 for stepping up and taking this type of belligerent post
on.
i have a other problem and that is to do with one of my license plate
lights. i tried changing the bulb, also tried different sides/positions,
and also adjusted the metal prongs but still the light doesnt lit up. I am
not sure what else i can do ..thanks
bad job my friend first u put a few liters in then u start the car so the
oil filter can suck up the oil dumb ass if u dont do that u not gone put
enough oil
I just let it drip for 5 min or so, I’m sure there will be some but not
enough for me to worry about.
