What a wonderful board this is!
We just purchased a 1992 960. Our first Volvo so what may seem simple and routine to all you guys, may be something we have no idea about. We have no service information but a look at the oil, as it came into the dealership, makes us think at least that got changed. A clean OEM air filter also was found.

The car was purchased at out local Chevy dealer and the service guy knowing us, knew my wife was looking for an older, in good shape, Volvo wagon to replace her dying Grand Wagoneer(woody). The vehicle handles beautifully, shifts smooth and solid, and starts and runs with so much power! Really impressed me.

On to my questions(and thanks in advance for putting up with them if they sound stupid).

1. We have a very small oil leak at the pan somewhere, is this a normal thing for a model this old? Really not bad, maybe a tablespoon every 2 or 3 days.

2. It has just turned 130,000. I see the sticker on the timing belt housing reading 90,000(some sort of exchange program??) that it was replaced. Something there I should know?

3. Since the car seems to have a warning light for EVERYTHING! I find the service light on and did a oil, filter change with Castrol 10w30 Syntech and a Wix filter. Did I need to do something else? I like to do the routine stuff myself(air, oil, transmission rebuild....lol).

Any comments or suggestions welcome. We hope to keep her for a long time!!!

Thanks Again!!!!!
