Lubricating the chassis
Looked at one of those Volvo maintenance specs sheets....
http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/tech/ser...enanceInfo.pdf
Page 9 shows the lubrication points. I've had the car 6 years and I've never done any of this.
Simple stuff, oil the locks, door hinges, hood, back hatch (on my wagon)... I get it...
But what do I use? Spray on stuff? Different stuff between hinges and locks?
Should I clean/lubricate the rubber bushings and boots everywhere? Engine mounts, sway bar links, (CV boot maybe), tie rod ends, that kind of stuff?
