Volvo recommends having your 2003 Volvo C70’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your C70 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Volvo C70. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
