Default A Huge collection of DIY write-ups

I am surprised this site is very little known and discussed in the P2 Volvo community. It covers many DIY, including the diesel engines, bolt torque specs and so on. Warmly recommended, I think the owner of the site (not me) deserves a good thumbs up

Likes like a lot of great information on that site, thanks for posting it here.

One thing that seems worth mentioning for this 'which engine oil page':
http://www.volvohowto.com/volvo-s60-...iesel-engines/

Is that I would recommend looking in your user manual where it has a graph showing which oils you can use and what temperature range they work best in.
As you can use a wider range of oils than is specified in their page.
This is useful to know if for example there is a special offer on some oil.

E.g is attached info from my 2003 v70 manual.
