Help your 2001 Volvo S40 run newer, longer with routine oil changes. Schedule your oil change appointment today.
Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2001 Volvo S40? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.”
Volvo recommends changing your 2001 S40’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your S40 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 vehicle, 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, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Volvo S40. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2001 Volvo S40 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Volvo has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2001 Volvo S40 vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your S40’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your S40 by taking into account your driving style, and the number of miles on your odometer.
