Synthetic Oil, Conventional Oil, Mixed Oil?

Recommended Posts

Hello guys I just bought a 96 850R wagon last friday, I'm so damn Happy!!! :D

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

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.

Its a group III base. If you want synthetic I have 2 cases of M1 syn I need to sell.

Thanks for the advise, and how many quarts do I need to buy in total with the oil filter change...

Is this the original oil filter that you would get at a regular Volvo Dealer......??
