Brake pads OEM Volvo or WAGNER

I do change oil and brake pads by myself for my xc60 and xc90.

I used closesale WAGNER OEX906A (Premium) OEX and closesale AUTO EXTRA AX31314. they actually works amazing, especially auto extra with "P" is semi-coated with a little bit more price, I have very good experience with them and actually recommends it if you want to be cheap

I used the Wagner QuickStop. They were affordable and have been fine so far

i use wagner at my shop. never had an issue in the 6 years i've been using them.

Second upgrade to Wagner Thermo quiet brake pads and rotors.

I just changed my rear breaks and rotors on my 2018 limited and will be doing the fronts next week, I have always used Wagner Breaks and rotors. I have been using them for 20 years and 5 of those vehicles have been jeeps with zero complaints.

For my 2016 V60 I only spend about $500. Also depending on your rotors and pads, there's no need to do both front and rear together.

2021 Volvo xc40, $900 for front brake pads, rotors, cleaning and labor.

Volvo uses a softer compound. I think they call them comfort brakes or something? I would always get about 40k miles out of my pads on my XC90. I switched to an Acura MDX and got 140k miles out of my pads. Volvo brakes work really well but I’ve never had a set last really long time.

Volvos seem to eat brakes. My xc60 is horrible on brakes.
