What is the maintenance schedule for the 2006 Volvo XC90?

Your Guide to 2006 Volvo XC90 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Volvo XC90 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your XC90 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine XC90 maintenance. Just follow your 2006 Volvo XC90 maintenance schedule!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XC90 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Volvo XC90 problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Volvo XC90

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Volvo XC90 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your XC90. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2006 Volvo XC90 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XC90 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Volvo XC90 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XC90 stranded. Your Volvo XC90 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2006 Volvo XC90's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 XC90. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2006 Volvo XC90? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Volvo XC90 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Volvo XC90 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Volvo XC90's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Volvo XC90 maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Volvo XC90 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Volvo XC90? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2006 Volvo XC90 maintenance.

Take an active role in maintaining your 2006 Volvo XC90. Get answers to common Volvo XC90 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Volvo XC90? You know your Volvo XC90 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Volvo XC90? 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 XC90 engines.
  • Can Volvo dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Volvo XC90 in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
