On Fcpeuro this seems to be your kit for the belt https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo- ... em#fitment I think the Fcp have a glitch in their system, sometimes they don't show the 2.4 (or base) engine after 2005

I'd get 11 more quarts.. 3.5x3.. then get a bottle of lubegaurd .. add 5 oz(1/2 bottle) on the final one. I personally pumped mine out @the radiator. 2002 V70 non turbo 215,000 miles..

To GlennG2759: Keep in mind that the product you want is the Valvoline Maxlife Dex/Merc LV.....the LV being the designation we need. Do you have 2 or 3 18mm aluminum washers on hand? Some people reuse 'em, some don't. Also, ATF is just heavily doctored oil so it goes into oil recycling without issue...

Are you having steering abnormalities? Just curious what is prompting you to “redo the front end”. I’ve always just left the ball joint bolted to the control arm. Then back out the two 13mm bolts from the knuckle. Using a heavy duty ratchet strap or come-along, tie the distal end of both control arm...
