For my 2016 V60 I only spend about $500. Also depending on your rotors and pads, there's no need to do both front and rear together.
Pros: inexpensive repair

I had my V60t6 2020 done for 800$ with Zimmerman rotors and Hawk pads (high performance). The job was done by 2 technicians within 1h.
Pros: fast service, high performance
Cons: expensive

I replaced my previous rotors with Zimmerman ones and they also had this notch so don’t worry about it as it’s normal.
Pros: normal notch, no issues

Real synthetic oil is way better than regular oil. Even full synthetic oil is better than regular oil. But if you want the best oil for the money look into Amsoil signature series. This oil is a true 100% synthetic oil and will prevent wear and quiet an engine down better than regular oil. I had a lifter tick in my Volvo 850 and it was caused by the pickup tube seal wearing away. I put Amsoil signature series in it and the film strength of the oil was so good it stopped ticking for a year before I had the seal replaced.
Pros: prevent wear, quiet engine

Tire inflation is important to fuel economy. Even 1 or 2 psi above the recommended pressure will yield positive results. Also, (in the US, at least) different brands of gas have different fuel additives in them... my V70 gets it's best mileage with Shell or BP.
Pros: positive results, fuel economy

I recently had the brakes done on my 2016 XC 60 by my long-term mechanic. It was all four corners with pads and rotors. He charged $1300 Canadian (950 USD).
Cons: expensive

Currently using Castrol Edge 5w-40 fully synthetic, previously was using Estremo Heatpro 5w-40 FS, differences is so minimal to the point where you just neglect and forget about it....
Smoothness the same, silky smooth.
Car feels slightly like just slightly lighter on pickup with Castrol.
Pros: silky smooth, lighter pickup
Cons: minimal differences

After getting vehicle to run under its own power once again, which is fantastic. I have no brakes. I've since gone gone in and torn down Front brakes completely, I've found right side metal line leaking. Also breaks & calibers had froze from lack of operation all these years. I'm Replacing all components for front brakes, except I'm rebuilding the girling calipers because they're practically $200 each and it cost 1/4 to rebuild the caliper.
Pros: rebuilding calipers cost effective
Cons: frozen calipers, brake line leak

This was a new genuine Volvo alternator I had Volvo put in, not a cheap or rebuilt part. Also, the battery is only about a year old. Could this really be a failing alternator or could something else be going on?
Pros: new genuine part
Cons: failing to charge
