All ways best to turn Container on its side that way the air does not get trapped great video content for the diy man 🛠🇬🇧🛠

Excellent tutorial,just checked my last service 5000 miles ago and twelve months so definitely doing the change myself this time.Any thoughts on changing the auto gearbox oil my XC70 has 91k miles 2009 model,many thanks.

When you're pouring oil out of the bottle, keep the spout uppermost by holding the bottle on its side. This applies to any size bottle with the spout to one side.

Very informative video that gives good advice. I think you may find that the electronic reading needs the car to be driven a good few miles before it gives a true reading. Also check that the oil filter rubber gasket is the correct match as I have seen a round profile one that isn't suitable for some filters.

[@CatManHDGaming]

the round one is for the non Biturbo engines so the 163 hp and the 185 hp. others have the "oval" one

Don’t worry too much about that oil build up on your intake pipe, they commonly get that on the D5 engines. I would just check the tightness of that jubilee clip, it may be slightly loose, allowing air to escape and the oil sludge is due to the crankcase ventilation system being upstream of it. However a small amount of oil is perfectly normal on these engines, especially at this age.

Which oil extrator do you use? Have you done the fuel filter and reprimed with the extractor.

[@drivelife.channel]

Hi there, it is the Sealey 6.5 litre one :) I have done the fuel filter but didn't use the extractor:)

[@NikzeeL]

How often do you change your d5 volvo's oil and filter? Good video

[@drivelife.channel]

Ever 5-10k :) normally around 7k :)

[@alexwoodward5300]

what tool did you use to remove the oil filter from? I need to buy one as i want to change the oil and i may aswell do the filter aswell.

[@Ilost11]

Thank you for the video. I wouldn't reccomend castrol. They pay brands big money to get the association while their oil quality is usually lower than Motul, Liqui Moly or Ravenol. Lots of testing has consistently shown the aforementioned brands are much better. I generally get a Volvo spec Liquid Moly 0W-30, but any of the aforementioned brands meeting OE spec should well exceed the quality of castrol shampoo.

[@ArkadiuszKubiak]

Do you do a engine flush when you change the oil?

[@drivelife.channel]

Nit often as I change the oil regularly :)

[@ARFI-C]

Hi any chance that 5w30 Total Quartz ACEA A5/B5 can do the job? i'm living in a hot country, my D5 has 300k km

[@drivelife.channel]

Yes that should be fine provided it meets Volvos specifications!

[@mcooke999]

This might sound like a silly question, but why do you change your oil so regularly? I'd be interested to know... I normally leave mine either 12 months or 10-12k miles whichever is sooner.

[@drivelife.channel]

To reduce the amount of aluge that builds up, it keeps the engine cleaner and soot free :) That feeling you get on fresh oil stays a lot longer too :)

[@maximrazzhivin6387]

Where do you bin the old oil in the UK? Thanks

[@drivelife.channel]

The local recycling centre :)

[@maximrazzhivin6387]

Thank you. Could you please let me know what tyre pressure gauge do you use for your Volvo ?

[@drivelife.channel]

Only a cheap one from Halfords :)

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

Down the toilet is best! 😂

[@colin8886]

Watched this and thought I’ll do it next week then remembered I have the electronic dip stick 🙈😂

[@drivelife.channel]

Kit is relatively cheap and easy to fit!

[@MrGarlaj43]

@@drivelife.channel are you able to provide details of the electronic dip stick? Or if you have before, can you provide a link? Thanks in advance!

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

Should still be able to do it through the technicians dipstick. Just a fiddle to get it out.
