Ben: I change my oil every 5-6 thousand kilometers. I use Castrol GTX up to 12,000 kms then switch to Castrol Syntec synthetic. Regardless of the interval, change your oil at least twice a year. I changed mine yesterday on my XC70 with 20,000 km, going to a 5W-30 Castrol Syntec for winter driving in Canada. In case you need the change procedure, I've documented it on my web site:

If you do the job yourself, which I recommend, I'd advise you to buy the filters and aluminum sealing ring from your dealer and keep your invoice.
