Re: synthetic oil ? S80 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Yannis Alatzas on  Mon Mar 26 03:57 CST 2001 [RELATED]

It is true that the factory fill is a "blend". It is fairly thin and very light which aids in the breaking-in process.

Based on several conversations that I have had with Volvo engineers in Sweden, I always recommended to our customers to have that original oil changed at 3500 or 3750 miles and then they can switch to a full synthetic.

On my car, I have 1660 miles and I am going to change the oil now and then again at 3750. At that point I will switch to Mobil 1.
