Personally I change oil and filter at 3K intervals. Synthetic oil, Volvo filter. Reasons?
- I only drive around 6K a year and like to have new oil put in twice a year.
- With mostly short trips on this car, condensation and contaminations accumulate in the oil, particularly during the winter season.
- I am a pessimist by nature and love this car. Wouldn't like something bad happen to it.
