Re: Oil filter wrench recommendation

Well, I'll answer my own post. I ended up getting the CTA 2489..I got this to use on my 2016 volvo s80 T5, 2l 4-cyl. It fits, for the most part, but it is a little oversized and a bit sloppy on the fit but it will do the job. I was expecting something with a tighter tolerance. I am guessing the Asse...

Re: Oil filter wrench recommendation

Perhaps I was not clear in my email....I want to buy a filter cap socket that fit over the oil filter cartridge.... This one claims it will fit but...I've been reading that the s80 changed in 2014 (2015?) so I am uncertain if this will work.... https://www.amazon.com/CTA-Tools-2489-86-Millimeter-Hea...

How to easlily remove lugnut caps??

I was poking around my new s80 and decided to become familiar with the jack points and changing a tire. First thing I noticed was the lugnut wrench supplied in the trunk did not fit the lugnuts...how can Volvo make such a mistake?!?! After trying some of my larger metric sockets and realizing that n...

Oil filter wrench recommendation

I am looking for a recommendation for the oil filter wrench for my 2016 S80 - 2L, 5T, 245 HP. This one claims it will fit but...I've been reading that the s80 changed in 2014 (2015?) so I am uncertain if this will work.... https://www.amazon.com/CTA-Tools-2489-86-Millimeter-Heavy-Duty/dp/B006VMXMQK/...

Re: new 2016 S80 oil and filter questions

Thank you! OK, I forgot about IPD... Yea, I've used Mobil1 0w40 in my 04 Saab 95 since day 1. 120K miles later still working fine. Hmmm really? I'd like to believe it was more than just advertising. Then again, it's all an illusion. Then again, Saab had in their manuals that they recommend M1 as the...

Re: new 2016 S80 oil and filter questions

No. And I don't see how changing the oil before the factory specified 10K interval will void a warranty. I'll have receipts for everything, and I will put my credentials against anyone for changing oil. I've lived through Saabs oil change recommended intervals, only to see the engines self destruct ...

Wheel studs?

So I go over to EEuroparts and look under s80 stuff, and I see lots of listing for wheel studs. I found that quite odd.

Are these a 'wear item'? Why are so many listed?

Thanks
