Re: Recommended Camshaft seal lubricant?

While I have done a few P80 cam seals (1998 S70 GLT, 1998 V70), I have NOT done the same seals on my 2005 XC90 2.5T with 122K miles yet. Here are what I have gathered in terms of parts and tools, waiting for a good day to do it. Well, the oil leak happened in cold weather Dec-Jan. Somehow, it has sl...

Re: Recommended Camshaft seal lubricant?

Actually, for your 2001 intake cam seal, use the PVC Coupler + Cam Sprocket.
Please see the DIY I posted above, the trick is there.

The video below from a 2001 S60 also shows some tricks too:

Re: Proven method to remove an engine oil stain on a cement driveway

I put kitty litter down and grind it into the cement by rotating my foot over it until it is turned to fine dust. Then I leave it for 2-4 weeks to soak up the oil. I've had pretty good success doing that to remove oil stains. Works best if the stain is fresh of course.

Re: Proven method to remove an engine oil stain on a cement driveway

Kitty litter and a brick.
Pour a thin layer of kitty litter on the stain.
Gently rub the brick over the kitty litter. It will break down eventually...just add a little more and keep working it until you're satisfied.

Re: Proven method to remove an engine oil stain on a cement driveway

Yes, it helps to have a run of dry weather. I use a fairly large landscaping block, which is of course heavier than a standard size brick. The added weight helps. You could always apply some more downward force as you're working it in. It does work. I used this method on about 10yr old motor oil sta...

Re: Proven method to remove an engine oil stain on a cement driveway

I use laundry powder ( washing machine dry powder) and put a little on. It just stays there until it weathers away.
Or CRC “Oil Eater” if that’s in the US

Re: Proven method to remove an engine oil stain on a cement driveway

A heat gun will boil the oil to the surface, then use your favourite material to soak it up.
Corn starch works.

Re: Proven method to remove an engine oil stain on a cement driveway

- I use DW soap, the powder type.

- Sprinkle the soap powder on the stain, rub it with your shoes. Then use a bottle sprayer and gently wet it.
Do NOT hose it. Let it fit there for a few days. Eventually the sun will bake it in etc.

- A week later you can brush it and hose it with water...
