Types of Volvo XC90 Maintenance

Every car needs maintenance. Your Volvo XC90 maintenance will depend on your powertrain, trim, and year make. A helpful tool is your owner's manual. Every Volvo XC90 comes with an owner's manual that details your specific vehicle's maintenance intervals for services like oil changes, filter changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and more. If you can't find your owner's manual or are having trouble figuring out the intervals, feel free to give us a call! Our service specialists can easily help you figure out the best time to schedule service with us in Cary, NC.

Whether you buy or lease a Volvo XC90, you'll want to make sure you keep up with things like oil changes, brake repairs, and more, ensuring your Volvo XC90 warranty remains intact. You can also refer to the table on this page to see when to seek service on certain parts of your Volvo XC90. Here is a list of typical maintenance checks you'll want to keep up with:

  • Oil Change: The oil and fluid in your engine get dirty and clogged over time. You need to schedule oil changes to add new, clean fuel to ensure that your vehicle runs smoothly. Our service center has synthetic and conventional oil that is the best fit for your car.

  • Brakes: If you notice that your vehicle isn't stopping as quickly or that your brakes are squeaking, it's time for service. We will check your brake pads and other elements to see what needs replacing.

  • Tires: There are many factors related to your tires. It is imperative that you perform regular tire rotations to even out the wear of your tires. You also may need services like tire alignments and replacements.

  • Batteries: Your battery powers everything in your vehicle, from your infotainment to your headlights. Batteries aren't meant to last forever. If you notice electrical issues, it may be time for new batteries.

  • Wiper Blades: North Carolina is no stranger to inclement weather. It is imperative that your windshield wipers can properly remove rain or snow to give you the best visibility possible. We will let you know if it's time for a replacement.

So, how does this affect your Volvo XC90 warranty? If you don't use Volvo-certified parts from our Volvo Parts Center, you run the risk of not only having a faulty aftermarket part, but also losing your warranty on your vehicle. If you get a service with OEM parts, you will receive a full warranty.1 If you go to a quick-repair shop on the corner, you will be responsible for the cost of any damage or new parts.
