Can you change the oil in a Volvo 760?
In this section I’ll show you how to easily change the oil and oil filter of your Volvo 740, 760 or 780 with a 4-cylinder engine.

The items you need for replacing the spark plugs of your Volvo 740 or 760: a fresh set of OEM Volvo spark plugs and the ratchet, extender and right 21mm socket Another comparison: the old spark plug is very dirty and black.
