I just put Brembos on my s60 and they are great.
Volvo parts reviews
I have 336mm factory Brembo pads/rotors and they have no issue bringing my moose to cornering speeds on track.
Yeah, I got tired of this happening. Went to Michelin's, and I find them to be much better.
I use 0w40 Mobil 1 all year round. I live in upstate New York, so our winters can get pretty cold at times, and summers can be in the 90s F for days at a time.
My V70 2.5T is almost at 190k miles. I add about 1 quart of oil between oil changes at 5k intervals and my car has been trouble-free since I purchased it at 107k miles in 2017.
Do not cheap out on oil. I use Mobil 1 high mileage but Castrol is also good.
If yours is the later style timing kit, get the Aisin kit from Rock. That kit is ALL OE supplier, including an Aisin water pump.
Replaced the blades and nothing changed. Got through one winter of ridiculous streaking and brought the issue up again with the dealer. They replaced both wipers fully under warranty and in rain the streaking is gone.
There is a lot of markup on those parts. A full set of TRW pads for an S60 can be had for a little over $200 inc GST from Repco and Repco ain't cheap.
New blades makes it better for a little while, but it's not long before the driver's side in particular streaks and doesn't make contact very well.
Bosch has gotten a bit crap lately, they haven't wiped as nicely as they used to
