theForgottenone Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Trying to see which is the favorite brand of choice for synthetic oil and interval between each oil change period.I didn't see or know if there was a prior poll on this topic. I'll be using Mobil 1 (10-30W) from Costco. Anybody have a good place to get cheap synthetic oil, let me know.Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteT5 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 because these cars aren't diesels?What????Does Porsche build diesels? What about Ferrari? Damn, what idiots they must be for using 5w-40(Ferrari) for factory fill. Someone should let them know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, what idiots they must be for using 5w-40(Ferrari) for factory fill. Someone should let them know. Volvo aren't Porsche and factory recommend 5-30W oil weight. In addition, 10-30W is the most available weight in most auto-part stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But volvos are just like every other car on the street, so we use what they use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
