............and OEM... 850 1995

I havn't had my 850 for 30k yet. I changed the plugs to the denso plugs about 10k early, becuase the OEM plugs were getting a little worn. If you have a turbo, it would probably be a good idea to change the plugs every 30 k, unless you really feel they are fine. The heat from the turbo wears on the plugs a little harder. With the Denso plugs I'm hoping to go near 60 before I replace...but performance is more important to me...so I will change them earlier if they start to wear. I do most of my own service work on the car, except when I need a special tool that's not economically feasable...it's really a good diea if you're comfortable with the car...you can always skip part of teh service schedule if you feel it's really not needed. Same thing with the plugs...maybe they'll last longer..but then Volvo also recommends that your fuel filter be changed at 90 or 100k (can't remember), either one is far too long. Also, they don't even recommend tranny flushes in teh schedule, that's insane!
