Which replacement spark plug is recommended for the V70 2.5T? I have 50K miles on the factory plugs. And, what replacement interval? Volvo brand? Bosch platinum? Other?
Thank you!

Actually,

Bosch makes sp plugs for Volvo, MB BMW Porsche etc.

So buying the proper Bosch sp plugs save you money from the Volvo sp plugs.
They are identical in spec's, only wearing "different skin".

I guess OEM Volvo lasts for at least 50K miles!! You could try cheaper and replace them more often, but why?

Please answer, we need to know if the advice is good or bad. The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are 2 turbos :)

The OEM plug has performed well and is supposed to run for 50k miles. If this plug is special I am happy to buy 5 OEM plugs and keep on going down the road...

Just to close the loop... I installed 5 oem plugs from FCP Groton and the V70 continues to purr down the road. The old plugs looked good after 51K. Good idea to stick with oem.
