Hi there just wanted to say a big thankyou for your brilliant tutorials on working on a Volvo d5 (s60). Your clear and detailed explanations have been invaluable to assisting me in the resurrecting of my own car which i abandoned after the unexpected death of my wife in 2018. I enjoy your way of working as I share a similar ethos and believe working steady and being methodical in approach to tasks pays dividends and also using genuine Volvo parts whenever possible works out cheaper in the long run. so once again many thanks for all your hard work in bringing a very clear and easy guide to the maintenance of our vehicles.

I've just bought a v70 d5 - my first ever diesel. It looks like a whole new world from the petrol Volvo's I've owned, and I'm grateful for your advice. A clear and comprehensive video. Thanks.

Thanks for your videos. Like you said in one of your videos there not that many videos on Volvo S60 DIYs. Yours are the BEST videos, simple and clear. Thank you.

Great video SiRobb. The more expensive the garages get, the more we need these types of video. Thanks for posting.

Hey Rob, your videos are the best on KZfaq, so detailed and clear.

Thanks for the simple and understandable tutorial! Perfect step-by-step solution! Greetings from Estonia!

Great video mate! I just got myself an old V70 2006 2.4D and your videos are of great help!

Just working my way through your excellent videos. One comment on this for lubricating your sump bolt....Any time a torque spec is provided by the manufacturer, that spec is a 'dry' spec, unless it expressly indicates that it is a wet (lubed) spec. At which point it will indicate which lubricant to use. Also, I've always pre-filled my paper filters. i.e. soaked them in oil before installing them. It helps reduce the time the oil takes to get past the filter and to the engine on the first start.

Recently won a dirt cheap (£510) V70 D5, 2003 on Ebay , 6 months MOT and in great nick, 238000 miles but a stack of service history totaling 9K in the last 7 years! Replacement DMF, Clutch, Intercooler, Rebuilt injectors with new nozzles and high pressure seals etc, It's replacing my seriously loved remapped and very quick 850 T5 wagon as i'm sick of putting fuel in it! Hope i won't be disappointed! The D5 showed an average of 53.1 mpg on the drive to it's new home! Fingers crossed.

I bought my XC90 a month ago (at the time of writing) and I've already done a service. Mine has the D5 engine. I didn't have a 36mm socket so I had to manage with an adjustable spanner. I used a Bosch oil filter which is better than some of the cheaper brands. I used the Triple QX 5W-40 from Euro Car Parts. I read that it specifies 7 litres for the D5 engine but I only needed 6 litres. This oil change was spot on. Well done.

The way you explain is good and more over taking time to take the video and sharing it is AWESOME!!!! The cost for Garage is way expensive in UK and it will be helpful to some one newbie like me. Thanks again.

Great vid, thinking about buying an xc90 and your vids are a great help to allay some of my fears ! Thanks !

My girlfriend insists on owning European made vehicles, no comprehending the difficulty the present to work on. That being said, although I was doing the oil change on a Volvo C30, the filter configuration is the same as yours and your video was a great help to me! Thank you so much for putting it out there!

Excellent video and very professionally narrated, thank you 😉

great tutorial you make even a simple oil change exiting brilliant

Volvo owners love their cars, and they love them back 👍207k in my d5. Changing the oil myself from your video, very easy, no excuses now, and sure fire way to get to 400k mark

Haha love the brief reminder on the steering wheel!

Thank you. Useful video. from now one i will try do to it myself. good luck.

Very helpful video Sirobb! I bought myself a volvo v70 2002 modell for over 2 month now and it works excellent. I just need to change the filters soon, so this video really, really helps out :D Keep up the good job and videos! Best regards from Norway!

Excellent video, very clear and concise. Thank you.

Brilliant video si, just bought a xc90 and like diy this is spot on.

Thank you very much for your explanations!!👍 Very useful!! I'll do it as you explained and it will be fine! Greetings from germany and stay safe!!

Very clear and helpful. Thanks.

Brilliant! Thanks very much!

Excellent video. Many thanks

thank a lot. I will do that when i fine a cle 36 !!!

Great Vids. You have saved me load of money and time. Cheers ;-)

This was a great help thanks!

Dry night pads for over spill would help Great vid

THX YOU FROM BELGIUM

Hi, I like your videos, and they’re very helpful for me, because I just bought a used one of these. Where did you get the manual? I can only get American spec manuals.

very informative video sir. keep up the good work!

Hi. Thank you for all your amazing Volvo videos. Did you already have problems with the swirl flaps on your D5? I would love to see a replacement video or alternatively a full intake cleaning video. I do not have problems with it yet, but I am planning to clean my intake system. Thank you and keep up the great work! Kind regards

That was a great help, thanks. I pour a small amount of water coolant into my engine so I need to drain it... any advice. I'm not using a flush. Thanks

hi just seen the video very good . i have been changing my own oil for 15 years now on my old 940 tdi volvo . but its getting a bit old now but been very reliable .

Thank you really excellent! Will it be the same for an XC60 D5 AWD 2011?

Thanks!

I love the video

Great vid fell foul of the later D5 dip stick woes, even though i only went halfway and got the "engine system service required code 042" took 500ml out and jacked up the drivers side for 10 mins, let down and the message has now gone.

in this engine you must fill 0w30 or 5w30 but Volvo recommends 0w30

I miss my car with the canister filter. I now have a honda which have horizontal spin on filters in awkward positions.

Really like your vids - v useful. Have you done a vid for the gearbox oil change?

Hi. I can hear a strange sound at 19:03 when you go under the car. I have the same sound in neutral. When i press the clutch pedal or add just a litle bit of throttle the sound goes away. Does this sound come from DMF? Great video. Thanks.

sir, when applying torque with a torque wrench you hold the wrench at the handle not at neck of the torque wrench.

Hi SiRobb where did you find the torques book for volvo cars ? Thx you so much great videos

gust made second change oil ant put the motul 8100 x-cess.any opininion?sugestions

Thanks for the great video. Do you think that using A5/B5 for a 2005 D5 (D5244T) can do any harm for the engine?

sirobb your engine bay is asking for some detailing :) I did in my D5 last summer and no issues. Thanks for sharing .

thanks :-)

Great video, Looks like the genuine Volvo oil filters are made by Mann? If so some good savings going with Mann filters!

Is this pretty much the same on the s60 d3 2010 model?

hi the problem i have is i have just put a wing on car had it sprayed as old one rusting . the bonnet and roof starting to blister/peeling paintwork . i could have the car resprayed . the honest sprayer says go away and have a good think as this would cost £800 to 1000 the under body is good its just got m.o.t. i won't find another car for £1000 . so I'm still tempted to spray it . what do you think ? regards jim liddy I'm based in stoke on trent

Great video, can you confirm the size of the drain plug washer please ? The tape over the key socket is an excellent idea! Thanks 👍👍👍

pls explain stopping problem coming volve penta 200kva gen

How's things mate quick question, you think it's okay for me to use a5/b5 5w/30 oil instead of the recommended 0w/30 for D5 Volvo s40? Cheers.

Great video, but with regards to a genuine filter. Pretty sure I saw it branded mann on the top? So why not go straight to Mann for 6 quid less?

Very good videoclip Rob, but you should've really gone for a 0W-30 long life oil that can last up to 19k miles or two years whichever comes first

I am changing each 250-300 engine hours.its approximately 10000km 12000miles will be almost 500h. (In my cases) there's is no oil which can work so long.

Is there a way to prime the turbo before starting due to the oil pressure? I have an om642 mercedes engine, I disconnect the fuel pressure sensor, and crank for maybe 5-10 seconds.

Good video thanks. What are your thoughts about using a vacuum pump to extract the oil and avoiding the under car work?

what are the dimensions for the washer ring? Is the washer ring specific for the volvo or can I use any other gasket that has the same diameter and thickness?

Which year is your engine? Im asking because my 2007 D5244T5 supposedly needs 0w30 according to Volvo but that just cant be the optimal viscosity for an old Diesel engine. It had 0w30 in it when the car got to me, now I have a fully synthetic Liqui Moly 0w40 in the engine and it LOVES that oil since its been the most quiet on this oil and engine vibrations have improved the most with this oil. Before that I used regular 5w40 and it was a lot better than 0w30 too. There is no viscosity/temperature chart in my owners manual too. I am suspecting that emissions pushed Volvo to recommend the thinnest oil the engines can survive on because that creates a few percent less drag in the engine. The emissions regulations in the united states are pushing manufacturers to do this. BMW for example recommends everything between 0w30 and 5w40 for an engine here in Europe and you are meant to choose your oil based on climate and usage BUT only the thinnest 0w30 will be the standard oil for the US Market. The new super thin oils like 0w30 or 0w20 even are perfectly fine for engines that were designed to work well with these oils. Mazda Skyactive and Toyota Dynamic Force engines for example are meant for these oils.

hy i have an volvo s60 d5 2002 and i put in the oil bardahl xtc c60 5w40,mechanic say to me is wrong because i neea 0w30 a5b5.what is yuor opinion?

I noticed you only change your oil and filter every 12000 miles. Im on the side of every 6000. It helps that I can get discounted quality (and to spec) oil and I always use genuine filters. What are your thoughts on this frequency of oil change SiRobb? Just out of interest. Thanks again for your vids.

I put halfords 5w30 in my volvo and now my engine system service light is on. so will be draining that and putting a better quality one

i buy the car used no book.so what's difference between 0w30 and 5w40?

Whats your experience on using an oil pump to drain the sump beforehand?

Ah all good mate except I NEVER grab a hot sump plug without a piece of rag or gloves or at least let it cool down To the point of not dropping it into hot oil. Been there done that. 🤣😂🤣

Is it possible to change the filter with a 36 mm open-end wrench?

So far how is your Euro 3 D5 doing with those flushes? What is the oil consumption?

Para quem gosta de mecanica a lingua não é problema 99% da para intender

I cannot remove the filter from the holder. Seems there are clips inside. Will not pull off. 2008 xc70

is 5-40 still recommended for a 200k d5 163 si?

great video but I'm going to buy you some gloves ;->

Where did you get you Jack and stands? Thanks

Why 3/4 on the Euro 4 D5?

Where did he find the torque values? I am a very new hobby mechanic and I dont know where to find torque values for the car

any opinion about this oil?

I've found in Manchester volvo dealer oil is cheaper than the rest

It's a Mann filter, they make them and Volvo mark them up

6.2L or 6.5L?

I can guarantee you 100% that you've got the WRONG oil. I rang 2 different official Volvo garages in 2 different towns & they both said to NOT use that oil. Should of used the 0W-30.

main dealer filter --- says MANN on it lol

Don't lubricate the threads. You will over tighten that way

Castrol have an agreement with Volvo that is why they recomended that shit. The fact that you propose castrol or shell that convinces me that you dont have practical knowladge. To Volvo car you put only MOTUL or VALVOLINE oil.

O

5w40 IS shit oil for D5 very important Volvo motor Fill 0w30

Hi. I just wondering if you still got this car after 8 year ? Kind regards
