VolvoRine Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hello guys I just bought a 96 850R wagon last friday, I'm so damn Happy!!! and this is the first time I'm going to change the oil, the previous owner told me that he had Valvoline Conventional oil running with it, interval change every 3000 miles, he only owned for a year though... So I don't know what oil to use, people say Syntethic others say mixed......I'm confused on which one to use, she has 143,000 miles and it runs strong, the previous owner seemed to take care good care about this sleeper beauty.... I just want to give her the best Thanks Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykn Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I wonder if this is a group III oil? I've been using Auto-RX and would like to continue the maintenance dose on each oil change. I hope my engine seals don't start leaking, since my engine is at 205K miles at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a group III base. If you want synthetic I have 2 cases of M1 syn I need to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolvoRine Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Is this the original oil filter that you would get at a regular Volvo Dealer......?? http://www.ipdusa.com/version.asp?strPageHistory=category&numSearchStartRecord=0&strParents=72,167,240&P_ID=385&CAT_ID=240&V_ID=869 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
