I am planning to do an oil change on my 1999 Volvo S70 non-turbo. I already have the drain plug washer and the Mann W917 oil filter (fcpgroton.com). I was wondering what size the drain plug is so I can buy the appropriate wrench. Also where is the best place to jack up the front end of the car? Thanks very much.

 

The drain plug is a 17MM.

You can jack it up from the Subframe if you want to in the middle in the front.

 

Thank you very much for the quick reply. Did the 1999 non-turbo S70 (2.4 L) do away with the conventional oil filter and switch to the filter inserts or was it just the turbo models?

 

If you haven't already switch over to synthetic.

 

99 was a split year. Then turbo I believe have the metal and the Non-turbo have the cartridge.
