Why check the motor oil level in my Volvo S70?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Volvo S70 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Volvo S70 oil at home?

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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Volvo S70 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
