valarinz: Good afternoon boss. I use a 2005 S80 (2.9) Which engine oil do you recommend. Went to to one garage and they put hardex now when the engine is running it's smoking from the oil gauge opening. |

valarinz: Thought 2006 T5 is best for a starter and affordable maitaince ? |
Re: Thread For Volvo Car Owners/lovers by valarinz: 8:00pm On Sep 07, 2021 |
Tajsagay: Volvo recommends Castrol boss. Look for Castrol 5W30 or Castrol 5W40 |

2felix: Not really, it only has comparatively insignificantly better mpg ratings, every other aspect ita below the 3.2l 6cyl engine that startes from 2007 models to 2014 models 1 Like |

valarinz: valarinz: Really? What of cost of transmission and engine cost? Learnt costs btw the two models the difference is much as well as other parts |
Re: Thread For Volvo Car Owners/lovers by valarinz: 6:52am On Sep 08, 2021 |
2felix: They share same parts apart from engine and gear. Currently, the 5cyl engine is more expensive than the 3.2l 6cyl engine, but for components like compressor, alternator and steering pump, the 3.2l 6cyl is more expensive On a more serious note, i shouldn't be trying hard to convince people to dump older cars and move on, except of course finance is the main reason for not looking forward 2 Likes |

Saw this beauty for $900, nothing wrong with it. Baba said he's just tired of the car after getting a new one PS, standard price for this in America is way higher (closer to $5000)

Re: Thread For Volvo Car Owners/lovers by naivasha: 12:48pm On Nov 02, 2021 |
Good day all, Experts in the house, please would you recommend the 2011 or 2012 S60 as a good option for daily commuting? If yes, between those two years which one is preferable? Any specific trim to avoid or consider? Thanks in advance. P.S. I am based in Lagos in case that is a factor. cc Valarinz |

Re: Thread For Volvo Car Owners/lovers by valarinz: 6:59pm On Nov 02, 2021 |
naivasha: I guess you love the shape of the car, if that's it, get it and try and steer clear of Lagos road rage, the body parts are still quite a dilemma to acquire for now If its the engine or general Volvo brand, why not look into the S80 and XC60, built on same platform, same engine specs but easier to get the body parts 1 Like |
Re: Thread For Volvo Car Owners/lovers by naivasha: 7:37pm On Nov 02, 2021 |
valarinz: Thanks a lot boss, I appreciate the info. Regarding the options of S80 or XC60, actually I am on the lookout for a compact sedan and my understanding is that the S40 and S60 are Volvo's offerings in this class and my choice would be one or the other. I expect that the S80 is a bit 'bigger' and also the XC60 is an SUV therefore I did not consider them. You're right I do like the design of the S60 but asides that, if possible I don't want a vehicle that is more than ten years old. The last Volvo I owned and drove was many years ago - 244 GL I believe it was. Now I'm looking to get back into one of these lovely vehicles. Once again thanks a lot. Any further advice is welcome |

Re: Thread For Volvo Car Owners/lovers by dru23(m): 12:10pm On Dec 09, 2021 |
kloser: First of all .. When it comes ATF fluid the "rule of thumb" . is you don't change fluid unless u have to do so . if the ATF is still pinkish in color . kindly leave it alone. If it is dark in color u than change it .. Changing fluid when not needed can damage ur transmission ..... In regards to ATF type 2 Likes
