Hi,
Need to do my 1st oil change on my XC60 2021.
Does anyone have a good post with details, pics, videos for oil change?

I've got the factory 19 inch wheels, what tire pressures do you guys run in your tires?

thanks!

 

I always use the tire pressure as posted on the plackard on the inside driver's door panel.

 

is the oil change straight forward or any tricks to it?
what oil do you run?

thanks

 

The dealer did the first oil change and according to the invoice synthetic 0w20 oil was used.

 

wow, sounds like a unique one.
thanks for the reply

 

have you guys ever bought reconditioned rims? i've heard they are just like new but wonder if anyone has bought them...
i'm thinking of jumping up to the 20 inch rims...there's a lot more tire options and better prices.
i love these:

it shows only 2018 but i'm pretty sure they fit all XC60's.

 

last rims I bought via hubcaphaven.com Reconditioned rims are a good option too - check out wheelcollision.com These types of shops basically take factory rims, fix any flaws then respray/clear coat back to a new finish. As to the question on tire pressure, I think it really depends on where you live and the quality of the roads. Here in New England, I run 3 PSI higher than the card recommendations as a way of protecting the rims from pot holes and avoiding pinched side wall flats.

 

The placard on the door pillar shows 35PSI. Each time I visit dealer for service they increase PSI to 40.

Anyone know why ?

TIA

 

I've noticed that dealers from any make I've owned usually over inflate my tires when I'm in for service. I just think they aren't very careful with checking pressures. I just had the tires on my wife's Jeep rotated at the dealer. They go front to back, and the fronts are 3 psi higher than the rears on the door placard. They never checked, and the rears were 3 psi higher than the fronts. Years ago I purchased a compressor so I could monitor and adjust my own tires. I also keep a few extra pounds in my tires for safety, and I think the ride is smoother too. They always wear evenly, so I keep doing it that way.
