'06 V70R maintenance

SimLyons · Post by **SimLyons** » 29 May 2011, 11:43

We got our V70R (2006) in January of this year. It has only 55K miles on it and I decided to get into the first "tune up". Replaced the plugs with new Volvo R6s (originals looked great). The only other item I can find to "maintain" is the air filter (which was REALLY dirty!!). So I have a new air filter coming form IPD and new oil filters. Is there something I'm missing? (I could always clean the MAF for lack of anything else interesting)

Yes, twice posted. After incorrectly posting to the other site I reposted to this correct site. it's good you keep such a close eye here to keep all of us commoners in line.And I notice your sneer and supremacy above all of us has not diminished a bit. And finally I also notice you still didn't offer anything helpful. Please go away!

At 55K I would change the bevel gear , rear differential and Haldex lubricants as well as the auto trans fluid (if you have one). The oil seal under the oil fill cap should be replaced as well. IPD has a Viton replacement for $10

Interestingly, the owner's manual does not address these points at all. There is no AT dipstick (that I can find). Good points though. My 850R is due for fluids change (just did the oil/filter/PCV/seafoam) and want to get them all done (brakes and PS). Thought I might save some time and $ by getting all the ATF at once and doing the cars on the same day. From what I've read the Dexron VI looks like the best to use.

The JWS-3309 spec is the right lubricant for the 2006 V70R.
