Volvo recommends having your 1988 Volvo 780’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 780 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your 780 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Volvo if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Volvo 780. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
