If you're considering buying, or have bought, a Volvo V60 for sale at Volvo Cars Arrowhead, you should know that maintaining your vehicle is key to ensuring it serves you reliably for years to come. The same holds true for a Volvo lease. Fortunately, Volvo has laid out a clear maintenance schedule to help you stay on top of recommended service intervals. By following this schedule, you can maximize your V6's performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity.

  • At 7,500, it's time to rotate the tires, change the oil and filter. This relatively simple service helps promote even tire wear and keeps your engine well-lubricated. Staying on top of these basic maintenance tasks is crucial for maintaining optimal driving dynamics.

  • By 15,000 miles, your V60 will need more extensive servicing. This includes lubricating the hood hinges, servicing the battery and cables, lubricating the trunk and doors, replacing the cabin air filter, and changing the oi and filter again. These items help ensure all the moving parts in your Volvo are running smoothly and your cabin air quality remains high.

  • Reaching 22,500 miles, it's time for another round of tire rotation, oil and filter change. Volvo engineers recommend this interval to keep your V60 performing at its best. Consistent oil changes are one of the most important maintenance items, as fresh oil helps reduce wear and tear on vital engine parts.

  • At 30,000 miles, it's time to bring your Volvo in for a brake system flush, air filter replacement, and another oil change. The brake fluid flush helps ensure your braking system is operating at peak efficiency, while the fresh air filter keeps the engine breathing easy.

  • Hitting 45,000 miles, your V60 is due for another full suite of maintenance. This includes all the previously mentioned items, plus a thorough inspection and service of the hood hinges, battery, trunk, doors, and spark plugs. Staying on top of these components helps prevent unexpected breakdowns down the road. At the 52,500-mile mark, you'll want to have the transmission fluid serviced, in addition to the regular oil and filter change. The transmission is a critical component, and fresh fluid helps ensure smooth, responsive shifting.

  • Reaching 60,000 miles is a significant milestone for your Volvo V60. In addition to the standard maintenance, this service interval also calls for replacing the spark plugs. Worn spark plugs can negatively impact engine performance and fuel economy, so this replacement is essential.

  • The 67, 500-mile service focuses primarily on oil and filter changes, while the 75,000-mile interval adds in replacement of the air filter, hood hinges, battery, trunk, doors, and spark plugs. These items help keep your V60 running at its best as the odometer climbs higher.

  • By 82,500 miles, it's time for another oil change. At 90,000 miles, the comprehensive maintenance package returns, covering all the essential components to ensure your Volvo remains in top shape.

As your Volvo continues to age, you will want to take care of all the components at regular intervals to ensure that it lasts well past the 100,000 mile mark. By diligently following Volvo's recommended maintenance schedule for your V60, you can rest assured your vehicle will continue providing reliable, safe and efficient transportation for many miles to come. Stay on top of these service intervals, and your Volvo will reward you with years of premium performance.
