Why check the motor oil level in my Volvo C70?

Can I change my Volvo oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

When to Change 2009 Volvo C70 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2009 Volvo C70? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2009 C70’s oil should be changed according to Volvo’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Volvo-recommended oil change intervals, your C70 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Volvo if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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.
