How Often to Change 2002 Volvo S80 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Volvo S80’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2002 S80’s oil should be changed according to Volvo’s recommended oil change 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 knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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 go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.
