Need more info about 1990 Volvo 240 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.
Volvo recommends having your 1990 Volvo 240’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Volvo-recommended oil change intervals, your 240 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Volvo recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Volvo 240. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1990 Volvo 240 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Volvo has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 1990 Volvo 240 vehicles. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your 240's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your 240 by taking into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
