Hey Guys!

Just wondering if u can help me out with a couple of questions? First, how many liters of oil are needed if I change my oil filter, and what`s the smallest size tires I can go with for next winter (I'm figuring 195/60/15)? I`m presently running the 16'' mags and traction sucks in the winter mad.gif . Oh, the car is a '98 V70 T5.

Thanx in advance

Volvo reccomends 185/65/15 for our '96 855R.

They work better than I expected.

High performance, soft summer tires lose a LOT when the rubber gets cold.

I am running 4 winter tires except they are 205/55/16 (mags). Does the 855r and '98 T5 share the same running gear and disc brake size??

If you disconnect the bottom Oil cooler line from the radiator you will get about 1/2 of a cup out, your decision, but without a lift and such a pain thats not worth it.

Start with six quarrts, start the engine let it run for about 30 seconds, shut it off, wait about 5-10 minutes and check the level and adjust accordingly.
