Pros: worked well in rain
Vehicle: Volvo

zhenya00

I switched it to Mobile 1 high mileage, and no more smoke, and it now, I kid you not, burns less than 1qt/3-4k miles!

OEM Volvo Fog lights
kharma
  • Fog visibility:
  • Glare control:
Rating 4.0

I regularly use my "fog" lights to augment the headlights on back roads. They illuminate a wider patch and add intensity in front of the car without being blinding to oncoming traffic.

Pros: illuminate a wider patch
Cons: Volvo headlights suck
Vehicle: Volvo

Castrol Engine oil

Castrol Syntech or Mobil One in 5w30 for the Volvo and 10w30 for the Ford. Mainly because I'm a lazy bastard that hates doing oil changes and the stuff lasts twice as long as regular oil. That, and I've had cars run over 400k using them exclusively.

Pros: lasts twice as long
Vehicle: Volvo
Mileage: 400000 km

OEM Volvo Brake caliper

Rating 3.0

A brake caliper on my T-5R was not releasing correctly and I got a used one for $70. I think the other side needs replacing now too.

Pros: got used one cheap
Cons: not releasing correctly

Bosch Alternator
PsychoVolvo
  • Warning light:
Rating 2.0

We've had all sorts of problems with Bosch reman alternators. They worked really well until Volvo put the alternator on the CAN network. The reman ones have a ton of trouble making the right charging voltage.

Pros: worked really well initially
Cons: trouble making charging voltage
Vehicle: Volvo

OEM Volvo Windshield

Earlier today I went under an overpass that was dripping melting snow. A few seconds later, water began streaking down the INSIDE of my windshield. It was entering pretty much dead center of the glass, where the rearview mirror is. It was also entering over on the passenger side (right side, American car). I've looked online and seen that this isn't an uncommon issue with Volvo glass it looks like.

Cons: water streaking inside windshield, uncommon issue with glass
Vehicle: Volvo C30
Mileage: 96560 km
