Why check the motor oil level in my Volvo S80?

Can I change my Volvo S80 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. 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 with your vehicle down the road.

How Often to Change 1999 Volvo S80 Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1999 Volvo S80? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Volvo recommends having your 1999 Volvo S80’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your S80 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Volvo recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Volvo S80. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
