Dear 940v40,

Good p.m. and may this find you well. Many - but not all - prefer 100% Synthetic Oils (e.g., Mobil 1). Many also use Mann filters.

When changing the oil, a new copper crush/sealing ring should be put on the oil pan bolt. A used ring should not be re-used, absent some dire emergency. These rings cost about $0.50.

Coolant should be replaced once in two years, absent some specific problem. I don't know how to "repair" coolant. On the B230F engine, there is a coolant drain on the passenger side of the engine (USA/Canada models), relatively low down. It looks like a short tube. It is opened with a wrench (I don't recall the size).

See the FAQs, under FEATURES, above, for the on-line service manual. If you're new to 940s, you'll find lots of useful info.

Post questions at will. The only stupid question, is the one not asked.

Yours faithfully,

spook
