Shift from partial synthetic to full synthetic oil - any concerns regarding seal leakage? V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Fri Mar 22 08:43 CST 2019 [RELATED]

Morning.

Here are my recommendations. I have been driving Volvo vehicles since the 90's and I have switched everyone of them over to AMSOIL Products with no issues.

I also happen to be an Amsoil Synthetic Lubricant Dealer as well.
My site is www.weareoil.com
My email is rpiescik@weareoil.com

Should you have any questions let me know. I will be glad to help you out.

Based on the info you have provided at this point and the mileage on the car I would recommend doing an engine flush as the motor oils that Volvo tends to use are a low grade semi synthetic. By using our engine flush product you will do a serious cleaning of the internals on the car.

Use one bottle of our engine flush product and let your car idle for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not drive the car. after the 30 minutes go ahead and drive out the oil and change out the oil filter.
Then install the new oil and filter.

If you let me know the year of your Volvo and the Engine you have, along with whether it is a turbo or not, I will be able to point you in the right direction for recommended oil, filter setup.

Don't be afraid when you go to drain out the oil and see that it is very black. This will mean that the engine flush did its job.

Bob
