I’m using 5w40 too. It was recommended at the service. I’ve got a 2012 Volvo S60 D3 with really lot of kms????. It’s better for the older engines, it gives a smoother run for them.
I regularly see Pilkington on Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar vehicles
Went with the fancy ngk plugs. A man of culture. I put those in my Volvo and they say it's heresy.
They did the same for me - with a set of Boge shocks for the Volvo. They ship quickly - and if they say it’s in stock, they mean it.
Just an update, I managed to find 2 sets of Nokian Haka R3 a few hours prior to my trip to Leavenworth, WA. Got out of two snow storms without a problem. These tires are bomb!
My V60PE has Vredstein Wintrac Pros .. have not used them in the snow, but they feel great in the dry. Not summer performance tires, but stable and drive really well.
On our V90 Cross Country, we grabbed a set of 18-Inch - 5-Double Spoke Alloy Wheel - Silver (Part # 31428595), put some Bridgestone Blizzack DM-V2's (235/55R18) on them. Car is rock solid in the snow.
Ran them on my S60 back in the day, pretty much exactly what I expected for the price. Only complaint was tread wear, but for a commuting daily they will give you plenty of life.
When I got my S60 (2006, T5) the previous owner had some copper AC Delco plugs made to fit an 850 non turbo in it and I wondered why there was very slow engine response.
On my '93 240, I used a 740 external regulator Bocsh alternator...100amps...the problem is is that the voltage regulator takes a dump, which leads to people replacing the entire unit (like me years ago).
