Volvo XC40 Engine Oil Service
The advantage of getting work done at an independent shop is that the total replacement cost, including the air cleaner, oil filter, and engine oil change with necessary peripheral parts and synthetic oil specific to the vehicle, is cheaper compared to the dealership.
We replace everything precisely according to your vehicle's specifications.

For a full set Volvo XC40 engine oil change, you'll need three items: air cleaner, oil filter, and the specific synthetic oil for your vehicle.
* Note: The dealership usually excludes the air cleaner; you'd need to request and pay extra for its replacement.
Volvo vehicles require a specific oil grade. Use 0W20 low viscosity oil with Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE specification.
The oil filter is a full set from MANN, which is considered OEM for many manufacturers, including the O-ring.
For the air cleaner, we use the cost-effective Hengst brand. MANN is also available, but there's no quality difference and it costs about $20 more.
This one is sufficient!
After replacing the air cleaner
We lift the car, remove the undercover, and drain the oil.
At this point, we collect the oil to check its volume and contamination level.
Volvo's electronic level gauge isn't very accurate, so we compare the total oil volume checked before the job with the 0W20 viscosity oil for verification.
As expected, the condition isn't great. The viscosity has broken down, and it's flowing like water.
This is why it's important to maintain proper oil change intervals for all Volvo models, including the XC40.
We clean the oil filter housing
We install the oil filter housing at the bottom of the engine. Uniquely, there's also a drain oil cock here. Oil leaks can occasionally occur here, so it's crucial to replace the O-ring!
After the job, we thoroughly clean everything.
At this point, we perform a free inspection.
Since it's an AWD model, we check the front and rear differentials, and the Haldex system.
We also check the PTU and transmission fluid.
These are all areas that will need attention soon on the Volvo XC40. Fortunately, everything looks clean for now.
Additionally, we reset the tire pressure for the warmer weather and visually inspect the brake pads, as Volvo doesn't offer a separate brake pad wear alert service.
We also check coolant levels, lower bus
