Re: Got some weird advice from the dealer today 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul Seminara on  Sat Apr 14 03:07 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Get a new dealer. HE IS WACKED. Yes Volvo doesn't seem to recommend a change interval on the M56, but they have been wrong before as well. At 90K don't sweat it, though. The Volvo special gear lube is synthetic (I'm pretty sure), and at 90K you should be fine.

There is never any harm (other than your pocket book) with frequent and proper lube changes in a manual.

Drive slower? Transmission overheating? He must have been thinking automatic or smoking crack.
