Hi All,
It has been determined that my S60 with 136K needs its spark plugs changed.

What are the best type of plugs to use for this car?

Also what size Torx bit do you need for this job? Thanks

    Depends. A turbo needs single copper core with 1 prong. NA engines have 3 prongs.

    The original equipment volvo plugs work really well and last a long time. I tried NGK and I was not happy with the way the car performed, and, they were more expensive.

    I think the cover takes a t30.

      Klaus,

      I just want to say thanks....it was your advice I followed on plugs last time and you were spot-on.

      Did not realize we could be talking about different types of plugs here, for this car, but the original Volvo three-prong plugs I bought for my NA were much better than the significantly more expensive NGK's.
