Having owned 940s since the late 1990s I have always wondered why Volvo made it so hard to do an oil and filter change. I guess they intended it to be done once a year at the Volvo garage.
I did an oil and filter change on my Mk2 Scirocco last week and it’s a breeze by comparison. The oil drain plug can be reached easily without having to crawl right under the car and can be undone with one of the standard sized metric spanners used everywhere else on the car. The filter can be changed easily from above.
I need to do one of the Volvos too but it will have to wait until I can face the palaver of trolley jack and axle stands and finding my 1” AF socket.
