How long did that service work take David? Did you get the tires rotated? What was the charge for that service?Mine was just in for the 7500 Mile service; dealer checked for recalls (listed on job sheet) with no hits.
My A/C compressor had to be replaced at the 7500 mile service for an oil leak. Of course, was covered under warranty, so no charge. But a disappointing failure so early in ownership...last night I received 2 separate recall notices for my 2012 S60 - both having to do with the A/C. one to fix the growling noise by changing the thermal expansion valve and the other regarding potential A/C compressor oil leakage.
I was out in under 90 minutes (including Sensus update which is supposed to take an hour). I'll rotate my own tires, only takes 10 minutes and I get to gaze at the mechanical engineering underneath.How long did that service work take David? Did you get the tires rotated?

Just curious.........what was your thinking to go synthetic? That means you will be forever synthetic, right???I was out in under 90 minutes (including Sensus update which is supposed to take an hour).

The only charge was to upgrade to synthetic oil and I was given a rebate coupon (with envelope already addressed): $24 before rebate.
I want to keep the car a long time. I've read that traditional oil can coke-up (carbon deposit) the turbo.Just curious.........what was your thinking to go synthetic? That means you will be forever synthetic, right???
I, too, am planning on this car lasting a looooooog time. I may follow your lead!!! Thanks for the heads up.....I want to keep the car a long time. I've read that traditional oil can coke-up (carbon deposit) the turbo.
I look at it as cheap insurance.
I ran the Motorcraft 5w-20 synth in my 2001 Mercury Sable -- 178,000 miles with no engine problems; I'm curious to see how many more miles my cousin will get out of it.
I also change before the factory interval.
is volvo still doing those stupid 7500 mile oil change intervals on less than synthetic oil?[/QUOTE
Yes.
For MY12 it was semi-synth by default. $24 (with $20 rebate) for upgrade to full synth. I had it done last week.is volvo still doing those stupid 7500 mile oil change intervals on less than synthetic oil?
How did you get the rebate coupon? I took mine in for the 7500 mile service and upgraded to synthetic. They charged me $46 and I did not get a rebate coupon.For MY12 it was semi-synth by default. $24 (with $20 rebate) for upgrade to full synth. I had it done last week.
The counter guy told me about it, handed me the coupon. This is in suburban Philadelphia PA.How did you get the rebate coupon? I took mine in for the 7500 mile service and upgraded to synthetic. They charged me $46 and I did not get a rebate coupon.![]()
