I just bought a V90 - What should be on my list?? S90-V90

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul on  Sun May 11 07:17 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I just bought my wife a 1998 V90. It has 58,000 miles and I am the third owner. It is being shipped from out of state. I have made a list of things to do as soon as it arrives. Please tell me anything else I should be considering:

Add Techron for two tanks.
Change oil and filter and run a high detergent oil for one week.
Use AMSOIL engine flush.
Clean out all old oil as best as possible.
Fill with Mobil 1 and add new filter.

Flush and fill cooling system with 50/50 Volvo blue and distilled water.

Drain transmission and fill with AMSOIL Synthetic ATF (is there a transmission filter that should be changed too??)

Change differential fluid and replace with synthetic gear oil.

Change air and fuel filters

Anything else specific to this model that deserves an immediate look? Also, does Volvo recommend premium fuel for this car??

Thanks!

Paul
