What to Know About 2012 Volvo S80 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Volvo S80 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your S80. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine S80 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Volvo S80!

Volvo knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S80's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2012 Volvo S80 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Volvo S80 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your S80’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2012 Volvo S80 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Volvo S80 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your S80 stranded. Your Volvo S80 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Volvo S80 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 S80. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 Volvo S80?

  • When should I have Volvo S80 alignment checked? Watch out for pothole damage. If your 2012 S80 is pulling to one side or the other, your tires or suspension system could be calling out for help.
  • When should I switch my Volvo S80 to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Volvo S80 engines.
  • Can Volvo dashboard warning lights wait? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Volvo S80, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
