2014 oil change

Post by kmcdonough »

I am attempting to do an oil change on my 2014 XC60 T6. I removed the engine "batwing" and moved the brake reservoir but there is still not enough clearance to get the oil filter out from above. The lines on the reservoir are too short to move it enough for clearance. Has anyone done an oil change on a 2014? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Kevin

I just saw your post today and I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but for posterity...

The quote below is from http://www.volvo-forums.com/t46417-how- ... filter.htm

"While the oil is draining, locate the oil filter housing in the engine compartment on the passenger side below the power steering reservoir. Look for a black plastic cap with a big hex nut on top. There's little room to work. Detach the power steering reservoir and move it to the side. Do not detach any hoses from the power steering reservoir. To detach the power steering reservoir, you'll need to wedge a small flat head screwdriver under the small clip holding the reservoir. There's a catch in the hole of the clip so wiggle the clip side to side and it should slide right off. Make sure you don't drop the clip in the engine compartment. You'll need this clip to re-attach the power steering reservoir later. Slide the reservoir off the bracket and move it to the left. You'll now have just enough room to remove the oil filter. Clean the area around the oil filter cap and housing with a clean rag. You don't want to get any dirt in the oil filter housing when you remove the cap."

You can pull the two headlight retainers and slip the headlamp unit out and then power steering res will go out of the way.
