Re: Break-in guidelines ? V70-XC70 01

This is what I did......well what my(Volvo only)

service manager told me to do.

First try to keep speeds below 60MPH most of the time, and keep the RPM’s in the "normal" range....

When you are on the highway vary you speed/RPM often.

I had my oil and filter changed with mineral oil at 600, 1200, 2500 miles.....then at 5000 had the oil and filter changed, but this time I went with Mobil-1 full synthetic. Now I still have the LOF’s done at 2500 miles with Mobil-1. I have 13000 on the car.

This may sound a bt over the top, but 90% of all the driving I do is in, or right around New York City, and I usually keep my Volvos for abou ten years.......and I like them to be very happy all the time.

just a bit of extra care at the start(break in), and staying on top of the needed things along with a quality volvo only service dept. could make the whole ownership of your car a much better thing.

Good luck with it!
