Oil? V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Eddie W. in FL on  Fri Sep 20 17:07 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I've used Mobil 1 (10W-30) in all my past Volvos (4 of them) and never had a problem. If you change oil @3K then you may as well use dino oil as it's a waste of money for synthetics. With syn oils you can safely go 5K-7K (depending on your driving conditions) which helps take the 'sting' out of the extra cost. If you have a turbo then I would definitely would use syn oil. It will help the turbo last longer.
