Volvo claims so many things and keep the lid on so many informations (diagrams, procedures etc) to keep their hands their service costs that I'm not sure how much they are objective...
But yes they say that... and they also said nothing about changing the transmission oil as well so...
It's a risk, I know...

I don't think they keep the lid on information. Vida is a constantly updated annual service that costs about £4000 a year to subscribe to. Hence all the pirate copies sold on eBay. But the pirate copies don't give the full abilities of Vida which connects to the main computer in Sweden
It's more about quality control and maintaining a high standard of reliability. They cater for professional workshops, franchised and independent workshops for mechanics who have been on their workshop courses, but not for the average person because of the price. Makes them a bit OCD about maintaining control of their product but show me a mainstream car manufacturer who isn't!
