Volvo recommends having your 2005 Volvo S80’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your S80 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your S80 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.
