Oil change.. what do I need? S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be malangi on  Thu Dec 20 06:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]



Hello,

I just called up our Volvo dealer to check how much an oil change costs. They quoted $85 + tax!!

My wife has a 1998 S70 5spd with 35K miles. I am planning to do the oil changes myself. I have the following questions:

1. Where do I buy the oil filter from and which one do I buy?

2. How much do I torque the drain plug?

3. Is it advisable to replace the washer for the drain plug? What kind would I use?

4. Are there any special instructions(from your experience) while changing the oil?

5. Will doing the oil change outside the dealerships void the warranty?

Thanks in advance for your time and support.

-malangi.
