I changed the plugs yesterday on both the XC70 and S60. Be sure to gap your plugs! They were all way off. I had two (cylinders 2 & 3) that I thought I was going to break off while removing. I loosened them and then sprayed some PB blaster in there and let it sit while working on the others, that helped a lot. I also used a bit of high temp antisieze on the new ones so the next time should be easier. While double checking my owner's manual on the correct gap I noticed it recommended Champion plugs.
