Default Odd question

Hi there,
This is probably a really dumb question, but I want to change my spark plugs and have never done it before. Before I go into the store and look like an idiot, they aren't proprietary are they?

Thanks

I would download the VAIDS and look it up on there. Yes, they are very important

proprietary? Well sort of. You can buy them down at the corner store but Genuine Volvo plugs are very good and come "pre-gapped" so you don't have to worry about that important step.

I would suggest using a good plug like bosch platinum or nkg plug.....DO NOT USE a cheap ac delco, champion plug they are not good for volvos spend the extra money and use Bosch...I use Bosch in both my volvo's and have had great success with them and no issues in anyway shape or form!!!! good luck!
