Have an assistant get in the car, start it, firmly hold the brake, drop it into gear, and give it a little throttle to apply torque to the drive train. See if the engine rocks excessively. Do this in both Drive and Reverse.

MDK here...on the motor mounts. I bought a used S60 that I'm going thru. If you're planning on keeping your car for awhile afew years anyway., Just replace them all. Volvo uses recycled material that after about 10 yrs from the heat/cold cycles and oil or whatever they get soft ...my advice anyway....

Ha-ha My dipstick seal was old, dried and loose. I bought a real, OE replacement seal. After installation I landed the dipstick. I tried pulling the dipstick and the red plastic part broke off leaving the stick in the tube. So, I advise you clean the involved part of the tube so it's smooth inside. ...

Not as good.

1. Does not shut down the REM.
2. The correct order is:

• A. Disconnect negative terminal.
  B. Disconnect positive terminal.
  C. Reconnect positive terminal.
  D. Turn key to POSII.
  E. Reconnect negative terminal.

D & E forces the control modules to reinitialize.

They are likely filled with dirt. Try a spray of your favorite cleaner to flush out the dirt. I can't remember if they are pinch type or slide side ways. If pinch type get needle nose pliers. If slide type, get an open end wrench of proper size to give you some force on the small tabs.

IPDUSA stuff..

Partially remove the plug with the oil cold. Less likely to fumble the plug and drop it.
If you have a hand vacuum pump, you can use a small tube down the dip stick tube and suck out the excess. These hand vacuums have many uses - samples, leak testing, brake bleeding, etc.

That cross reference guide is handy.

Here's some nice 30-40 year old NOS plugs 4 for $295. And no one will ever see them!

No problem. Swore mine was a a t45 ….

Not a bad job once you do it. Drain coolant, remove upper rad hose. Remove rad fan and it gives you a lot of room. Swing PS pump out of the way with reservoir attached, loosen lower ac compressor bolts and it gives you enough room to fit it out.

T45 is on casting. You can use a socket/wrench on the hex bolt as well.
