I do it all the time -- never had a problem. 200 1992

I've typically bought Volvo 240's at about 100,000 miles (in one case, I bought a car at 180,000 miles), and I always then start using AmsOil 10W-40 in them (I always also change* the transmission fluid with AmsOil ATF, too). I've never had any leaks crop up. I've heard that AmsOil is a different kind of molecule than Mobil 1, and that could be why I've never had any problems (viz., they're different effect on seals), but in any case, that's been my experience.

{ * I usually had my local garage do the tranny fluid (incl. torque converter) change, but I just bought and used IPD's tranny fluid flush kit (really a hose), and it's worked great!)
