Hello,
On my 1986 740 estate,
I change my oil and filter at 3,000 miles as I am only using castrol GTX magnatek semi synthetic 10w 40. I used Mobil 1 once but it was dearer and very difficult to get hold of where I live. The castrol oil is £19.00 in the UK for 4.5 litres, which is quite expensive when you change it every 3,000 miles. Only another 2,000 miles until its new oil and volvo filter change.
I am going to France in my 740 in a couple of days, so wont be on the forum as I dont have internet access at my Grandparents holiday home.
