Hi all...I'm new to the group, and am a proud owner of a '01 V70 T5. It's good to see an active forum!

I am planning to change spark plugs in the very near future, and I wanted to get some opinions from the community. The owner's manual recommends Champion plugs, but my local autoparts store doesn't carry Champions. Anyone have good/bad experiences with other plugs with these motors?

-Matt

For your car try to find Bosh Platnum plugs.The Volvo plugs are platnum plugs that come in the car.

Thanks Tech. It's strange, reading posts in a few other Volvo forums there are some that say you shouldn't use platinums, and some that say platinums work well. Going to IPD's website (http://ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?CategoryID=1448&NodeID=4546&RootID=629), they recommend Bosch platinums as the closest plug to factory replacements. I'll give the Bosch platinum's a try. Thanks again!
