I have always used Slick 50 and have always had impressive results
Thanks my man great knowledge I own a 2015 S80 T6 AWD an I love that car runs like a baby an yes I say Volvo one of the best made vehicles period running forever. Do you have any tips on flushing the transmission there is no were to put in fluid or change it says should last the life of car in the ad
This valuable information is unbearable to listen to because of the incomprehesible AI "stuttering". I will save this none the less and watch again in hopes of absorbing more information.
Something a lot of people aren’t aware of. Is that your standard type? F transmission fluid is mostly detergent and some of these products are re-labeled with dramatic price markups for this exact transmission fluid. It’s a high detergent hydraulic fluid that will wash away sludge if added to a crank case and run for just a few minutes. If these other products were priced more appropriately, I would consider using them. But I’m not willing to pay 20 or $30 for 12 ounces of transmission fluid in a rebranded bottle.
I fully agree with using treatments to clean the sludge from your engine. But I’d like to see more information on the chemical composition of these products because when I had some analyzed years ago, they turned out to be nothing more than a rebranded transmission fluid. They did work, but I didn’t have to pay the inflated price tags if I simply used half quart of type, F transmission fluid it served the same purpose.
3:05 skip to this part to hear the answers
I’m in Australia, have a 850R, P3 XC70, V40CC and a 2020 S60, all have had 5,000km oil filter changes from new with Liqui Moly, oil dilution is more a problem with a lot as so many do short runs,
I’ve been looking at preowned Volvos a couple of years old as a next purchase. I currently have a 2015 VW Passat Sport with 220,000 mi. The advice on this channel is outstanding for any turbocharged, direct injection engine. I’ve watched and liked nearly every video. I’m bumping up and expanding my maintenance schedule. I’ll replace the overdue PCV/oil separator this weekend, and I’m planning to do two oil changes only 3,000 mi apart to assess engine condition. Suspension bushing inspection will be a part of that. I thought I’d get a little more proactive in preparation for a Volvo.
I have a question, I have some issues with the engine light up with the CODE P04200. Volvo told me that I have to change y Catalyzer what its totally crazy for me. I used a Liqui Moly clean catalyzer #7110 that works for 5000 km, after the light comeback, I used again and the light back at 1000 km later. Before I will use it again, the light disappear alone. I read there is another Liqui Moly Catalyzer cleaner #8931 that you can use from the intake port just in the EVAP line entry and after the throttle body. The guy from Volvo told me where use it, but too told me that there is a risk of cause a fire or explosion or damage the engine because the carbon rest could affect the valves and fold them… The question is… Is It safe to do this cleaning process in your experience and how to do it in the right way? If the light is not back on again and I went to Volvo and they rest all the codes and sensor using VIDA, is there any risk that the light back on doing this cleaning process? I really hope so some one could support me, I have a XC90 R Desing 2019 T6 with POLESTAR chip with 50K miles.
“Real shop story. A customer with a 2015 xc90 T6….”
Problem: Volvo did not make a 2015 model year XC90
I don't need a lecture about the anatomy of engines, I just need the advice.
The "no fault code" at 12:59 was photographed in a Toyota. This sounds like an infomercial and not real Volvo advice.
A lot of misinformation here. First off the 2.5 L five cylinder is not in direct injected. Secondly modern day Volvo turbos do not rely only on engine oil for cooling. They are water cooled using the engines cooling system.
I put .75 of a quart of Marvel Oil in every oil change. Also put it in the gas. It keeps everything clean.
