hey all

i decided to get my volvo parts online, much much cheaper!
VolvoWholesaleParts.com sells Genuine Volvo Parts was recommended, anyone had positive/negative experience with them?

I'm looking mainly for an oil trap (crank case vent) and genuine spark plugs.
Oil Filter Housing and Trap C30 C70 S40 V50, Item Number: 30788494

for the spark plugs, could not find any that says S40 for T5 engine! need help on this one.

on another note, the K&N filter for S40, not the typhoon one, will it increase or decrease fuel consumption!? should i stick with original volvo filter?

i'm thinking of using Castrol Fully Synthetic 5W30 oil, you guy recommend this?!
i live in Lebanon, Middle East, temp could reach 40 Celsius in the summer

thx guys

 

I've gotten a few things from them. I've always gotten good prices and good service with normal shipping speeds. If you want even cheaper OEM parts though, Tascaparts.com. Most of there prices are cheaper then Volvowholesaleparts.com

Oil Filter Housing and Trap C30 C70 S40 V50, Item Number: 30788494 is $85.31USD.

The spark plugs you need are P/N 30751806 $34.19USD for all five.

The K&N filter might slightly help with mileage but the best thing to do is drive conservatively and not accelerate really hard.

I really can't help with the oil. I live in the rainy and mostly cold Pacific North West. Lol. It might hit 35 Celsius, maybe once a year.

Oh, and join up at swedespeed.com. Lot's of really good people and info about the Second Gen P1 S40's.
