Hi,
I was wondering if any could give me some advice regarding appropriate maintenance on a 2013 V70 D2? The cambelt has been changed recently ..
The car has done a lot of mileage (170k), but seems to run well. I would like to service the car soon and wondered if there was any 'real world' advice from owners of the same engine-type. I would particularly like to know:
1. Recommended engine oil for this engine and mileage
2. Is fuel filter replacement a good idea at the same time as an oil/filter change, or are the intervals far wider?
3. Is changing the auto gearbox fluid easy enough for a (non-Volvo main dealer) garage? Is it one of these 'sealed units' that's not designed for oil changes?

Thanks in advance
