Why check the motor oil level in my Volvo 740?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your 740’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change Volvo 740 oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Volvo exhaust smoke gray or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my Volvo 740 oil light comes on?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Volvo 740 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.

Do I need to replace my 740’s oil filter when changing my oil?
