To those of you like me who use a smartphone and can't stand the new super bright :shock: washed out :shock: look. I found the answer! Go to the settings and put the phone in night mode and the eye straining :shock: washed out :shock: look :shock: goes away and this is what MVS looks like. I think i...

I don't think I've ever seen that back seat configuration before. That said even the regular seats in the early S80 were by far some of the best Volvo has made. Super comfortable while still keeping you stuck properly in place while turning. They've really lowered the bar since with shorter seat cu...

Can't stress this enough: Genuine or original equipment manufacturer only for the timing service! The $200-250 spent is good insurance to keep your car out of the scrapyard for the next 80k+ miles. Including waterpump OEM or genuine Volvo only. Your waterpump is to be changed every other belt servi...

If you don't buy parts from your local Volvo dealer, than there are online retailers such as the ones that advertise here on MVS, or places like Volvo oem parts direct which is a Volvo dealer up North but sells at discounted prices. Don't use Ebay or accept a open box as either could have had the fa...

Actually I have been here at least a year longer than Facebook. I really only joined the Facebook thing beca...

This might help. June

No coincidence. I'm approving new members when I go there and see requests. 168 now. This forum will not suffer because of this new FB group. So far, the group requires almost no time. If it does start to require my time, I'll appoint moderators to police it. It'll be a net gain. I'll cross-polinat...

My Volvo dealer charges $128.73 for a fuel filter change and around $100 for a full synthetic oil change so you were grossly overcharged!!! Also all Volvo dealers use only Genuine Volvo parts. So +1 for run away fast from your shop! They charge 100% more than the dealer! I attached a picture of a fu...

June, If that Wolf's head really is group 4/5 oil, then that is pretty cheap. That works out to $7.50 a quart which is pretty inexpensive if it really is group 4/5 oils with no group 3. The same weight oil from Redline on amazon is more than 2x that wolf's head price. But it does illustrate the wil...
