Ok, good to know about the oil issue.

I had 2 850’s. A 93 and a 95. No serious oil issue with either one. The 95 started using a quart every 2k miles at around 220k miles. Still ran well at 251k when I sold it. The valve seals were leaking. A common high mileage issue with 5 cylinders of that era. Used conventional oil then. Would have been fine with synthetic. The white block engines don’t like conventional oil…

Will I buy another Volvo??? We'll see....
