2019 Volvo S60 30,000 Mile Oil Change And Blackstone Oil Report
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Volvo recommends changing the oil every 10,000 miles on this car. To get Volvo-recommended oil in the U.S. there is only one option that I have found, and that is fcpeuro.com where they have easy, pre-assembled kits for most services you will need to perform.
After the oil change, I sent a sample off to blackstone-labs.net and had it tested.
Here is the oil filter socket: amzn.to/3t1KhaN
Good video, thanks. One remark. The oil level on display is not that quick in response. The car needs to be driven for some time to get a reading. It’s not a level sensor like for window cleaning water.
I didn't know that, they aren't very clear on it in the manual. Thanks
It’s not funny to see that the right oil is hard to get in the USA. Here in the EU there’s about 10/15 brands that offer the Volvo oil specs, wide range… from 5w40 to 0w20.
I don't know what makes the Volvo spec so different. Maybe the zinc content? I'm tempted to switch to the Motul I run in my other cars.
@@pg41226 It depends! In my city in Hungary most of the people have 20 years old cars and the majority of the shops sell 10w40 and 5w30 oils. So good luck here as well if you want a VOLVO APPROVED 0w20 😀
@@attilakocsis-savanya6607 unfortunately I am selling my 2014 D4 volvo, but the motor is great and there is 0 oil consumption. I always bought 20L of Ravenol EFS EcoFullSynth. SAE 0W-20 which is, to my knowledge after consulting experts and comparing actual datasheets, superior to all competitors, including the original Castrol Edge oil. It's 14,5€ per liter, so not cheap, but you can get it in the 20L bag-in-box (great system) on black friday once a year for 10€/liter.
If I would still drive that car, I would actually buy 10L boxes of Mannol Legend Formula C5 0W-20 - it has the Volvo spec and costs 4,2€ per liter. I would just use that and change more often, with an easy oil drain plug. The thing is, you notice when you have fresh oil, you save Diesel and it runs smoother and quicker. That wears off even with the best oil (usually a bit later). I'd go for cheaper (but still the required spec!) oil, even more changes.
Nice helpful video. If you get the 40,000 mile kit from FCP euro, it comes with coolant for drain/fill and brake fluids flush. Would appreciate a video on those two procedures as well. thanks.
I just ordered a complete brake kit...
I could not find the right Castrol in the US either - I’ve used the regular Castrol edge several times, but now I’m using the FCP stuff.
Have you returned used oil for a refund via their lifetime replacement guarantee?
Really great video sir! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching.
Wait those engines dont have a dip stick ?
It has an electronic dipstick but not a physically removable one.
I have jack stands. However this car looks way different than others underneath. Where can I put my stands? Where are these points?
There are jacking points with a plastic pad covering them. You should check your manual for locations.
@@DIYEVERYTHING Yes, but I don't mean the jack coming with the car. It is for elevating. I mean the jack stands what you put under ut after you have elevated the car. Its shape is different.
@@Chromie2-ph2kz I have a pair of jack stands 3T each. So I just put them around the hole and thats all right? It will hold the car.
Did you happen to buy the filter housing socket? What size was it?
I was wondering the exact same thing! None of my oil wrenches fit! Grrr…

@@DIYEVERYTHING hope this is the 85.5mm x 16 flute
castrol is garbage compared to liqui moly. Just like mobil 1, castrol has a good marketing department to claw in customers for there crappy stuff.
All oils have pros and cons. What I know for sure is that I just got the Blackstone report for my 50,000-mile oil change and everything was well within acceptable conditions with no abnormal signs of wear.
Hello, do you happen to have a shop manual for a 2021 s60 for sale?
I don't have a shop manual, sorry
Volvo vida subscription only, thanks Volvo for placing it behind a payed wall
FCP Euro for the win with lifetime warranty on their oil!
Have you returned used oil to FCP Euro? What is your experience with therm?
Yeah what’s that mean?
@@DIYEVERYTHING I have and it's super easy. You can do it all from their website. You'll need to buy a replacement order to be able generate an RMA. (Your next oil change.) Put the old oil back into the empty containers and package them up good. I recommend setting up a UPS account so you can print your own labels from home and simply drop off the package at UPS drop off site. You have to cover the shipping back to FCP. The oil change kit usually runs about $16 to ship back. They'll credit your account when the parts are received. After your 1st oil kit you buy from them, you're basically paying return shipping for the rest of your oil changes. I don't know how they afford to do it, but they're proud about offering it.
Hello, What ramps are you using?
You probably won't believe this, but...
...I went to Sears about 20 years ago to buy a set, but they didn't have any. A guy I was talking to in the store said he had a set in his truck he would sell me for $15. So I don't know who makes them, but that's the story.
Wow...I was just thinking the Volvo might be to low specially the front bumper, to go up regular ramps like the rhino plastic ramps or even the ones that sell at harbor freight.
Blackstone lab oil testers use the full synthetic oil that’s on sale.
I'm confused by your statement. They don't select the oil. They test what you send them.
