Re: Volvo diesels / opinions on longevity+reliability 200

I assure you, the car was designed for 2000 mile oil changes. I never had the engine apart, but if you stuck with the 7500mi intervals, your engine was short lived indeed!

The brighter side is that, once the thing gets old and starts to use oil like a rocket, you should not have to change the oil as often since it's getting a constantly fresh supply :)

One more thing is that the heavy engine in the front gives a nicer ride than the gas 240.
