Dont forget to replace the sump plug washer and use a volvo filter.

Are sump plug washers quite generic parts or do I need to get hold of a specific sort when I change my oil?

might as well get one from the dealer when you get your genuine filter. part no 11998 costs less than a quid. And don't overtighten, if you've got a torque wrench then set to about 25 Nm.

and if your torque wrench has a 3/8ths end, you can use it directly to tighten it up...

a word of warning, when I did mine a couple of weeks back, I found that the thread was damaged and tried to strip when I put it back in

luckily I was able to borrow a suitable tap off the Uni Engineering department to clean up the sump threads, before fitting the new plug.
