Volvo recommends changing your 1994 850’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Volvo 850. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
