OK, needed a back up car and score and 850 sedan, non-turbo. Seems to be in nice shape, been searching around and learning as I'm normally on the RWD side, actually tried to find a rwd one in good condition, but they are old now. Anyway,

1. Owners manual says oil change is 5.6 quarts with filter, but could be 6 quarts, which is it? I know I can change it and figure it out, but I like to know this sh*t up front.

2. Timing belt, thought they were due at ~100 kmiles, but my owners manual says 70 kmiles and as I'm at 136 kmiles, it looks like I'll be doing this soon unless dealer can tell me it was done later. Conventional wisdom is to do it at 70 kmiles, correct? And, change tensioner, rollers and water pump at this mileage and time (no info on pump being changed). I'll stick with dealer for this stuff unless you guys can tell me the FCP (and others) have the OEM stuff.

Thanks

Mike
