I bought a 2002 / V70 wagon (auto transmission) a few months back, and would like to do basic maintenance/tune up - just over 210K miles. Dealer already did the timing belt and water pump replacement a few weeks back. I was going to do the spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter. Anything else?

Thanks,

Bernie

Cabin filter? What color is the ATF? Brake fluid flush?

With a 'warm' engine: use an old latex glove, remove oil filler cap, attach glove to oil filler neck with rubber band, start engine. If the glove inflates, you have positive pressure in the crankcase. If the glove doesn't give you a 'finger' then you are good to go. Remember, use synthetic engine oil.

If you notice and oil coming from the oil filer cap area, replace the gasket, cheap and easy to do.
