Filled up the car with gas tonight, averaged 22.5 MPG (80% highway @ 80 MPH), only person at the gas station checking the oil...

Currently running Shell Rotella 15W40 with a genuine Volvo oil filter (Made in Germany) and when I checked the oil it wasn't down even a fraction of an "X" mark on the dipstick! I understand NEW, $60K Corvettes, are using 1 quart per 1,000 miles and the owners are going ape sh!t...

Will change oil in a week or two with Castrol 10W30 for the winter.

If it needs to be maintained, repaired or replaced on a 1990 240, I've probably done it. '90 240DL, 245K looking forward to 300K badge. >>You haven't really worked on a car until you draw blood<< :-}
