Volvo: Changing oil in 2004 S80, oil plug, changing oil


Question
Ray,
How hard is it to change the oil in the S80?  Is the oil plug and filter readily available?  I did a quick look under the car and couldn't see either.  Are they behind a panel underneath the car?  I like to use Amsoil and change my own oil.
Thanks,
Scott  

Answer
Scott,
If you have changed oil in the past then you can do it. Drop the gravel shield you will see the plug and filter. I suggest that you drop the gravel shield drive to a parts store look for the tool that will take off the oil filter. It looks like a large socket.
