I changed my oil Monday night over to Mobil 1 synthetic 10w30. I filled my oil pan entirely when I found out there was about 6 quarts even in the engine!

Anyway, the oil filter I removed was a genuine Volvo one. I replaced it with a Wix since I don't have any Mann filters around the garage anymore. (I have not owned volvos for a couple years now)

Anyway, both oil filters have drainback valves, but when I start the car in the morning it runs for a second before the oil light turns off. Is this normal in the 960s? I switched over to synthetic to hopefully make things easier on the valves. It might have been synthetic oil in there before, but I have no idea being I'm the new owner.

My other question is about changing just the oil filter. Can I change out the oil filter at 5k without any leaking? The way it's mounted low, I didn't know if oil can leak out of the sump if you remove the oil filter or not...

Thanks for any info.
