Why 5W? As the owner manual indicates. 10W30 or 10W40 in Summer, long drives, heavy towing. If you use synthetic like Mobil 1, 10W40 year round. Your high miles 1985 Volvo engine is not built with the far tighter tolerances or clearances like a new Honda, Toyota, VW. Oh My Dawg it's been like three days of a working site. Do we debate oil filters here also? -- Give your brickboard.com a big thumbs up! Way up! - Roger Ebert & Gene Siskel
