With all the high mileage Volvos that we read about and own, an awful lot run on plugs installed by a dealer tech. These plugs say Volvo on them (or Ford, like the original plugs in our '08 XC70)

I'll bet that Irv Gordon uses Volvo plugs! (I'll ask him the next time I see him)

Volvo could use any plugs that they please - their reputation relies on them!

And yet, people try to second guess Volvo all the time.

Did you look at the spark of the worst looking plug outside the car?

Darkness could be fouling - put an Ohm meter on them? If the plugs got hot enough, they could have metal deposits on them.

If you have access to a plug blaster, you might clean them to see if the car runs better after cleaning - an old-time shop might clean them for a small fee.
