+1 on Walmart for the battery as their warranty is decent and their stores are everywhere. On my kids 2005 I found it could take two sizes (H6 and H8 if I recall right) so went with the larger one. For trim I’d anticipate any standard polish should work. If needing completely re-done could be painte...

FYI that the P2 subframe bolts are single use and should be replaced with new. A good time to put in new OEM subframe bushing in that are reasonably priced. Verify the torque turn values, if I remember right on my S60 it was 88 ft-lb + 120 degrees.

Sending to XeMODeX is your best bet.

Start at 2:30, Robert points right at them. They are right behind the timing belt gears on the cams.

I’m blessed far beyond what I deserve. Gotten to a point in life I see how broken the world is, and how much pain is in the world. So many struggle each day, many in situations they don’t have control over. And some overcome those challenges with joy over this one thing—Thankfulness.

So MrAl did he push it home?

I’ve done it many times. You can do the math to determine the viscosity change. I’ve even topped with Delvac 1300 15w40 ($14/gal at Walmart) during the summer. Not probably the best if you want to run extended drain intervals but for my 5000 miles or less I’m not concerned. I’d be more concerned dil...

And the testing has been done for you.

My 05 XC90 looked much the same and was likely the original fluid too. Had a motorcycle once that the fluid was even darker brown.
