- How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on a Volvo 2.5L straight 5 cylinder turbo’d engine. This car I am working with here is a 2007 Volvo C30 T5, but this same engine was also used on the S40, V50, and C70 Volvo models, as well as some Ford models. A similar procedure can most likely be used on other Volvo models too. #volvo #volvoc30 #volvot5

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-3/8" ratchet
-17mm socket
-filter cap wrench
-new oil and filter
-ramps
-drain pan
-T30 torx driver
Procedure:
Ensure the vehicle has come up to full operating temperature and then elevate the front.
Volvo typically recommends an engine oil replacement at 12000km or 7500 miles or it should be done at least once a year if that mileage isn’t met. Whichever comes first. You will also have a warning light on your gauge cluster stating maintenance is required in the test display along with an orange warning light.
Start by removing the belly which is held on with 7 T30 torx screws. It’s best to start with the rear first and then slowly move your way to the front.
This is actually supposed to be clipped into the subframe by the control arm, but someone installed a cable tie instead. You’ll see towards the end of the vehicle once I reinstall the belly pan on how it clips into place.
Here is the location of the torx screws.
Now the two areas where it clips into the subframe.
Using a 17mm socket, remove the drain plug. Have the pan directly below the drain plug and once you get to the end of the threads, pull the plug away quickly so you can minimize the amount of oil on your hand. Be careful as well because the oil it hot from the engine. This should be done when the oil is hot as improves oil and allows it to drain better.
Remove the air duct off of the radiator support. This uses 2 8mm bolts, one on each side.
Once those two bolts are removed, then pop up the duct, it clips in on both the radiator support side and going down below to the air filter box.
Now remove the lower portion of the duct which feeds the air box, this just clips into place. To remove the filter cartridge cap, this requires a 36mm socket. Unfortunately, I didn’t have one on hand, so I used an adjustable wrench instead. It’s an extremely tight fit, in a pinch it will work when going from the alternator side. You can order a special socket online, I do have one on order and am just waiting for it to arrive.
Remove the cap. The filter cartridge will be inside, remove that as well.
Compare the old and new filters to ensure they are the same.
For the filter housing cap, the new filter should come with a new o-ring. Remove the old o-ring using a pick or small
Install the new o-ring and ensure it’s properly seated. Also, apply a light layer of oil to it so it doesn’t bind when screwing on the cap.
Just to give you a peek of the filter housing before installing the filter.
Install the new filter cartridge.
Now install the filter cap. The torque spec for this cap is printed right on the top, but if you’re unsure it’s 18 ft-lbs or 25nm.
Reinstall the duct, first starting with the lower portion. It just snaps into place.
Then install the upper portion which also snaps into place first.
Reinstall the bolts.
Clean the mounting surface on the oil pan for the drain plug. You can also apply a small amount of oil to the drain plug gasket to help with lubrication when tightening. The torque spec for the drain plug is 25 ft-lbs or 35nm.
Replenish the engine with oil.
The owners manual does outline which is the best weight and type of oil required for your vehicle. Be sure to check the oil level of your engine, you should have a level between the minimum and maximum lines. Start the engine and check for any leaks.
Reinstall the belly pan. The belly pan clips onto the subframe first, it does have tabs for this. Then install fasteners, first to hold it into place and then finalize everything so it lines up correctly. Remove the vehicle off the ramps, turn it off, allow it to sit for a few minutes and then check the oil again. A finalized oil level check should be done when the vehicle is on level ground.

For all those with the 2.4i (non turbo), it is even easier because there is nothing blocking the oil filter cap nut. No removal of anything needed, at least on my 05 V50 2.4i.
Great info, thank you for sharing!
Thanks,changed mine,didnt expect the oil filter cap to be so difficult to take out
No problem, happy to help!
Very well done! We just bought our daughter an S40 T5, and I wasn't sure how to access the filter. Your video was extremely helpful. Kudos and keep up the good work!
Perfect video! That’s the exact engine I have in our V-50. Our local garage said they couldn’t do an oil change on our car. It’s not hard!!
Thank you :)
If anything it just seems like an inconvenient design, when talking about the oil filter
Been thinking about having this as a project car due to it's "sporty" nature and that sweet, sweet 5-cylinder note
Excellent video. 2007 V50 T5. I got turned away at Jiffy lube because they thought they had to remove way more that what was needed... I knew they were wrong and I am glad they did turn me away because it was pretty easy to do. I will have a 36mm socket ready fpr the next time...;)
desde Tenerife islas Canarias te felicito por realizar el video la traducción y la forma de explicarlo nunca he visto uno tan perfectamente explicado, otra cosa es que te valoren personas que lo mas redondo que han visto en su vida no sea una rueda sino una caja de zapatos felicitaciones
Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback, so very much appreciated!
Thank you! I use my car a lot for courier jobs and maintenance is expensive! Trying to cut cost, thank you for your video!!
So happy to help and you're very welcome!
Great video!
Great content helpful to me cheers 👍👌🇬🇧
My questions is do you insert the oil stick full inside or only when it stops on the yellow stick where the rubber is at
Great video thank you very much
No problem, always happy to help!
Thank you sooo much
You're welcome!
Your voice is cool
Thank you!
thank you :) !
No problem, happy to help :) I have plenty more C30 repair videos too!
This is a great video!
Has anyone else had trouble with the T30 torx screws just spinning in place? I cannot get even ONE of them off, letalone the 7 - they just spin and spin. One of them I must have spun 60 times and it aint movin'. Thanks in advance to anyone who might have an answer.
Haven't had that issue, but it may be an indication that the plastic inserts are worn out / stripped. To get them out, you could try inserting a small flat screwdriver underneath head / washer and pry downward as you back the screws out. I've not tried this, but one possible solution (after you've removed the screws) could be to insert some silicone adhesive (like caulk) inside the plastic inserts that hold the screws. Let it sit for a day so that it fully cures / hardens. Once it hardens, the screw threads will have something to grip. Hopefully they won't spin on you. When you install them, don't over tighten them, or else you'll just further strip the plastic.
Thanks
No problem!
Hi...
Kool Thanks for this info. I want to Buy the Same Plastic Ramps your Useing..please supply link where you bought the Ramps Size and Price $$ Thank You God Bless..Please RSVP
When I changed the oil on my V50 T5 the oil filter housing was full of oil? Like it didn't drain out. This meant that when I removed the filter there was a lot of oil drippage and when inserting the new filter it overflowed. Have you ever seen this? I am worried that there may be an issue with some sort of drain back valve or some blockage in the oil system. The car runs fine with no obvious oiling issues.
Yep I've seen that before. Try loosening the oil filter housing cap first, then remove the drain plug. Also make sure the engine is warm so the oil flows more freely.
4DIYers Thanks for the tip! It worked great. Undid the oil filter housing first and left the oil cap on when draining. No more messy filter change. Cheers.
Far Right your missing a screw on engine Splash Guard..or was that taken off with Engine Splash Guard..curious what is Screw size of bolt/ screw that meets up with Wheel well Splash Guard..you know the 1 that uses those little Screw clips?
Best damn video
Thank you!
I know this is an older video and you may not get this comment but can you tell me what size crush washer should be on drain plug? I'm due to do my first oil change and don't fancy getting everything drained to find I have the wrong size lol
The new filter should come with a new crush washer. If not, I usually keep a kit on hand with various sizes. Comes in handy when you're in a pinch.
Please how many litres of oil is the precise measurement?
What type of oil u recomend i jus buy a s40 2005 and the cap say castrol but i dont know the number of is syntetic or not ?thank u
Yes, Full synthetic.
Excuse me sir, but can you tell me, if oil filter housing is located in the same place on the 4 cylinder 1,8 petrol engine?
I would assume so but we didn’t have that model of engine available in Canada.
Dose the oil filter housing need primed?
I don't normally bother with it.
Thanks for the video. What happens if you put regular oil in after you've drained the oil out and its had synthetic in there before?
No problem. Most engine oils are made to be interchangeable. Switching over to a conventional oil will have shorter maintenance intervals and it's not as good of a quality as compared to synthetic.
@@4DIYersThanks for the response. but im referring to the idea of adding regular in the engine after synthetic has been in there. Does it matter ?
@@fl33k59 no problem. they actually blend them anyway which some folks prefer
I’m always told my filter is wrong. I’ve bought and returned from multiple major chains. Volvo dealerships charge 2 or 3 times what most oil changes charge. Any advice? I’m not in a situation where I can change it in my own.
My advice would be getting the part number from the dealer, then reference that to an aftermarket filter like a Mahl.
Thank the Lord it's not like a BMW or Audi. I can do this myself!
What is this drive up thing called?
Plastic car ramps, I'm not sure of the brand though. They're about 10yrs old.
How do you reset the “maintenance required” setting on the trip computer? Or does the Volvo figure out an oil change has occurred automatically..?
Insert key turn to position 1 then hold the trip reset button. turn key to position 2 and wait for the warning light to blink.
will this work for a volvo s40 2000
Great video, thanks. That car looks like it has salt water damage
No problem. Common problem here with the high humidity, Volvos don't seem to take the moisture well. I've seen other P1 cars with the same problem.
Not a fan of this design. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome. Yeah it's not the most user friendly designs. I like the cartridges, just not on this car.
