opinions wanted on oil wieghts? 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray C on  Thu Jan 4 17:37 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I live in the SF Bay Area and my 740 GLE now has 202K miles on it and has never been apart and still whizzs along the freeway without stressing at

75 mph,My question is that I've been using 15w50 Mobil One and Mann oil

filters for quite awhile now and have been very happy with the results,I've been advise by a client that has been in the automotive oil business, that said Mobil One is the best oils(that I agree with)he said that I could use lighter weights like 5w30 or 10w30 and my Volvo would be

happier still! he also owns 2 Volvos ,What do you all think out there in Volvo land? Should I change with a high mile engine or keep using 15w50

I think it wouldn't hurt anything,but also I don't want create any concerns, as always thankyou in advance.Oh yeah ,Ive got mile High mile

badges stuck on her and my VCOA decal on the window.Thankyou Ray
